Scarpetta is a 2026 American drama series directed by David Gordon Green and Charlotte Brändström, starring Nicole Kidman as Dr. Kay Scarpetta, a forensic pathologist whose razor-sharp mind and command of modern crime-scene science make her one of television's most formidable investigators.
What is Scarpetta about?
Dr. Kay Scarpetta has spent her career reading the dead so that the living can find justice. When a series of disturbing cases lands on her table, she must deploy the full arsenal of contemporary forensic medicine — from trace evidence to digital reconstruction — while navigating the political pressures and personal histories that complicate every investigation. The series follows her through the clinical precision of the autopsy suite and into the murky territory where science, law, and human grief collide. Each episode peels back a new layer of the crime and the cost it extracts from those who pursue the truth.
Cast & crew
Nicole Kidman leads the series with the focused intensity she has brought to prestige television before, anchoring every scene from the lab to the witness stand. Jamie Lee Curtis and Bobby Cannavale round out the central ensemble, while Simon Baker, Rosy McEwen, Ariana DeBose, Jake Cannavale, and Hunter Parrish fill out a supporting cast that brings friction, depth, and competing loyalties to the procedural framework.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, Scarpetta lands at the intersection of two reliable pleasures: the sharply written American crime procedural and the kind of character-driven prestige drama that rewards sustained attention. Nicole Kidman's presence signals a certain quality floor. The series is available with a Persian dub as well as Persian subtitles, meaning you can follow every medical and legal detail in your native language. That accessibility — combined with a format built for binge-watching across the weekend — makes it an easy recommendation for household viewing on any device.
Where & how to watch
Scarpetta is available on K-Time with both a Persian dub and Persian subtitles. Watch on the web browser, your TV, or phone — no extra download and no VPN needed. A single subscription covers all devices, and you can cancel anytime.
