Netflix isn't messing around when it comes to writer & director Steven Zaillian's (Schindler's List, The Night Of) Andrew Scott (Fleabag)-starring drama series Ripley. After becoming the new home for the limited series early last year, Netflix capped off 2023 with some first-look images from the eight-episode take on Patricia Highsmith's bestselling Tom Ripley novels. That wave continued earlier this month with another new look at Scott's Ripley – but today, Netflix offered us our best look yet with the release of an official teaser that also served as a date announcement video – with the series set to hit screens on April 4th. But it's the teaser above that you need to spend some time with, as Zaillian & Scott team to offer one truly beautiful & disturbing preview.
Zaillian's series focuses on Tom Ripley (Scott)- a grifter scraping by in early 1960s New York who finds himself hired by a wealthy man to try to convince his vagabond son, Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), who is living a comfortable, trust-funded ex-patriot life in Italy, to return home. Tom's acceptance of the job is the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud, and murder. Dakota Fanning ("The Alienist" series) stars as Marge Sherwood, an American living in Italy who grows to suspect that some seriously dark motives underlie the affability of Mr. Ripley.
Zaillian's initial plan is to adapt each of Highsmith's five novels, with each book receiving its own eight-episode season. The five books in the series include The Talented Mr. Ripley, Ripley Under Ground, Ripley's Game, The Boy Who Followed Ripley, and Ripley Underwater. While the majority of the series was filmed in Italy under the supervision of line producer Enzo Sisti (The Two Popes, No Time to Die)- including locations around the Italian island of Capri, nearby island Ischia, the Amalfi Coast, and Rome and Palermo- additional filming also took place in New York. Ripley is co-produced by Showtime and Endemol Shine North America in association with Entertainment 360 and Filmrights. Zaillian executive produces the series alongside Garrett Basch, Guymon Casady, Ben Forkner, Sharon Levy, and Philipp Keel of Diogenes. Scott is also serving as a producer on the project, with the series set to premiere in 2024.
