Scarpetta (Season 1)

Scarpetta (2026) is an American crime drama series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, Virginia's Chief Medical Examiner. Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale and Ariana DeBose co-star in what is arguably the most high-profile Patricia Cornwell adaptation yet.

A chilling new murder carries unmistakable echoes of Scarpetta's first major case from 1998 — a run of brutal stranglings she investigated alongside detective Pete Marino and FBI agent Benton Wesley. The series cuts between present and past, and neither timeline is safe. A complicated relationship with her sister Dorothy adds pressure from a direction that no forensic skill can neutralize.

Cornwell's Scarpetta novels effectively invented the forensic procedural as a genre; this adaptation aims at the knottier territory of the later books, where the personal and the professional stop being separable. Stream all episodes of Scarpetta (2026) on iFILM.
