Ariana DeBose and Bobby Cannavale have signed on to play medical examiner Kay Scarpetta's niece, tech mogul Lucy, and death investigator Marino in Prime Video's upcoming Scarpetta series.
Nicole Kidman is set to portray Scarpetta, while Jamie Lee Curtis will play her trouble-making sister, Dorothy, and Simon Baker will play her husband, FBI profiler Benton Wesley.
"Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta has enraptured fans for decades and I am honored that Prime Video is entrusted to bring the series to screen for our global customers," Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, said in a statement Wednesday.
"The most exemplary group has been assembled for the series with Liz Sarnoff at the helm with an extraordinary vision; the immensely talented Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis, and the fantastic cast; and the top-notch team at Blumhouse."
