The new Amazon Prime drama Scarpetta will debut online on March 11. The series brings the literary character created by Patricia Cornwell to life with Nicole Kidman starring as Dr. Kay Scarpetta. With skilled hands and an unnerving eye, this unrelenting medical examiner is determined to serve as the voice of the victims, unmask a serial killer and prove that her career-making case from 28 years prior isn’t also her undoing. The ensemble cast includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Simon Baker, Ariana DeBose, Bobby Cannavale, Amanda Righetti, Hunter Parrish, Janet Montgomery and Rosy McEwen, who plays the younger version of the lead character.

Also on March 11, the new drama Sunny Nights will debut online on Hulu. Will Forte stars as strait-laced American Martin Marvin, who teams up with his loose cannon sister Vicki (D’Arcy Carden), to set up a spray tan business in Sydney. But as Martin and Vicki attempt to turn their company from a start-up operating out of the back of a van into a multi-million-dollar empire, the siblings become tangled up in Sydney’s criminal underworld, and when a ruthless gangster begins to catch up with them, the two must figure out how to stay alive, out of prison, and in the black. The show also stars Jessica De Gouw.

The finale of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will air online on Paramount+ on March 12; meanwhile that same day, the 7th season premiere of Virgin River will air online on Netflix.
