Netflix has released the first look of its upcoming series Ripley, starring Andrew Scott in the titular character Tom Ripley. The series is based on Patrucua Highsmith's The Talented Mr Ripley.

Ripley is written, directed, and executive produced by Steve Zaillian. Set against the backdrop of the 60s Italy, Ripley is eight-episode limited series. It is described as “roguish protagonist Tom Ripley”.

“Scott’s Tom Ripley is a grifter scraping by in early ’60s New York. He’s hired by a wealthy industrialist to travel to Italy to try to convince the man’s dilettante 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,” reads the synopsis.

The series also stars Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood, Dickie’s girlfriend. It will release on Netflix sometime in 2024.
