Nicole Kidman Says She’s 'Ready Now' For 'Scarpetta' Role

Nicole Kidman says the role of Kay Scarpetta arrived at the perfect moment in her career. The Oscar-winning actress will executive produce and star in the series Scarpetta, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis, who also serves as an executive producer and plays Scarpetta’s sister. Kidman explained that the character had first come to her years earlier, but the project was not ready at the time. Now, with the script finally in place, she believes the timing is right, saying she feels “ready now” to bring the iconic forensic investigator created by Patricia Cornwell to life. The two Oscar winners first connected during a commercial break at the Academy Awards, a meeting that eventually led to their collaboration. Scarpetta is set to premiere March 11 on Prime Video.
