The streaming service shared a teaser trailer for the limited series Monday featuring Andrew Scott.
Ripley is based on the character Tom Ripley, who appears in The Talented Mr. Ripley and other novels by Patricia Highsmith.
Scott plays Ripley, a con man in early 1960s New York, who is hired by a wealthy industrialist to travel to Italy to try to convince the man's son, Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), to return home.
"Accepting the job is Tom's first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud, and murder," an official synopsis reads.
