Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Prime Video officially renewed Scarpetta for a second season before the series even premiered. The streaming platform initially picked up the crime drama with a two-season order in September 2024. Season two will adapt the Patricia Cornwell novels Cruel and Unusual and The Body Farm.
The second season of Scarpetta is currently in the active filming stage. Principal photography began in Nashville on March 9, 2026, just days before the first season premiered. Production is expected to continue throughout the summer of 2026.
The production timeline for Scarpetta is extended due to the busy schedules of its high-profile cast, including Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis. The series also requires extensive filming for its complex dual-timeline structure, which features separate ensembles for the present day and the 1990s. This intricate setup naturally lengthens both principal photography and post-production.
There are currently no official spin-offs in development for the Scarpetta television universe. Prime Video and the showrunners are entirely focused on the main series, which has decades of source material to cover from the massive book franchise. The creative team plans to adapt two novels per season moving forward rather than branching out into spin-offs.
While an exact release date has not been announced, the second season is tentatively expected to premiere in the spring of 2027. Because filming began in March 2026, the series is on track for a standard television turnaround time. Viewers can anticipate new episodes roughly a year after the first season debuted.
