Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis met at the Oscars in 2021. That introduction led to a collaboration with both women co-executive producing and starring in “Scarpetta,” a new mystery crime series from Prime Video, out March 11. The TV series was adapted from Patricia Cornwell’s popular books. Kidman plays the titular character Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a fictional forensic pathologist who solves complex murders. Curtis plays her free-spirited sister Dorothy. Curtis credits Kidman as one of the major Hollywood players who helped shrink the gulf between perceptions of film and TV roles.
