Nicole Kidman’s new series on Prime Video, «Scarpetta», - ends on a thrilling note at the conclusion of its first season. The fate of Dr. Kay Scarpetta hangs by a thread as she faces an unidentified, potential threat. So who is the killer, and when will fans get to see what happens next?
Hollywood Life provides a detailed analysis of the first season finale of «Scarpetta».
Yes, Prime Video has ordered two seasons of the book adaptation, so the second season has already been greenlit.
While Prime Video has not announced a release date for the second season, according to TV Insider, production on the show resumed in early March 2026.
Production for the first season began in October 2024 and wrapped up in March 2025. Therefore, it is likely that the second season of «Scarpetta» will be released in early or mid-2027.
In the first season, two killers are revealed. In the penultimate episode, it is revealed that the criminal from the flashbacks is 911 operator Roy Macorkle. Dr. Scarpetta finds him, enters his home, and kills him in self-defense.
It is then revealed that the copycat killer is Officer Matt Ryan, who is responsible for the deaths of Gwen and Cami. Dr. Scarpetta finds herself alone in her home when Matt breaks in to strangle her.
Matt initially explains his motives: having seen what Roy did to his first victim, Lori, he changed, and he confesses that the «wetness» of her blood «changed» him. After confessing to the murders of Gwen and Cami, he attacks the doctor, but Kay manages to break free from his grasp and grab a baseball bat. She hides from him, and when Matt ascends the stairs, Kay suddenly rushes out and strikes him several times with the bat. He falls down the stairs, and the camera captures Kay’s shocked expression.
