Hunter Parrish & Simon Baker on Scarpetta: building their characters & why crime dramas draw viewers

Hollywood First Look sat down with the cast of Scarpetta, a Prime Video thriller series starring Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a brilliant forensic pathologist navigating complex murders in both the 1990s and the present. The show follows her return to Virginia as Chief Medical Examiner, where a new string of murders mirrors a 28-year-old cold case, suggesting she may have originally convicted the wrong suspect. 

In these exclusive interviews, the cast shares (and more):


How Simon formed Simon’s character while pulling from his past experiences
How Hunter finds his center after filming tense scenes
Why audiences have a morbid curiosity for crime drama
