Nicole Kidman is back on our screens — but not as a CIA Supervisor like in Paramount's Lioness, or the queen of AMC, but as a medical examiner. In Prime Video's new thriller Scarpetta, based on the books of the same name, Nicole stars as Kay Scarpetta, whose return to her hometown allows her to reconnect with her sister, and unearth a ton of secrets. And with the murder, mystery, and sisterhood of it all, I can't help but think of Big Little Lies! Well, Prime Video finally just dropped a first look at the new series and this is one show I can't wait for.
