Patricia Cornwell & Liz Sarnoff on Scarpetta: Adapting the novels and Patricia’s cameo

Hollywood First Look sat down with Patricia Cornwell and Liz Sarnoff of Scarpetta, the 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 showrunner and creator share (and more):
・Forming a narrative from the source material
・Patricia's cameo with Nicole Kidman's Scarpetta
・Why audiences have a morbid curiosity for crime drama
