Hunter Parrish and Simon Baker discuss Scarpetta, building their characters and why crime dramas fascinate audiences.
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.
