Scarpetta
Channel: Prime Video
TX Time: 10h00
Genre: Drama, Thriller
A forensic crime thriller based on Patricia Cornwell's bestselling Kay Scarpetta book series.
Scarpetta brings this literary character to life in a series starring Nicole Kidman 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.
Set against the backdrop of modern forensic investigation, the series delves beyond the crime scene to explore the psychological complexities of both perpetrators and investigators, creating a multi-layered thriller that examines the toll of pursuing justice at all costs.
The thriller unfolds across two timelines. This dual narrative explores Kay's journey from her beginnings as a Chief Medical Examiner in the late '90s to her present-day return to her hometown, where she resumes her former position while investigating a grisly murder.
As Scarpetta pursues justice, she must navigate complicated relationships, including the fraught dynamic with her sister Dorothy Farinelli (Jamie Lee Curtis), confront long-held professional and personal grudges, and face secrets that threaten to unravel everything she's built.
Bobby Cannavale stars as Detective Pete Marino, with Simon Baker as FBI profiler Benton Wesley and Ariana DeBose as Kay's tech-savvy niece Lucy Watson.

TX Time: 18h00
Genre: Wildlife, Documentary Series
In the mist-covered highlands of Angola, deep within Africa's last great subtropical forest, a mystery endures: the elusive ghost elephants of Lisima, the potential living descendants of the largest land mammal ever recorded.
Steve Boyes, conservation biologist and National Geographic's Okavango Wilderness Project leader, is determined to prove their existence.
In order to find these elusive elephants, Boyes and fellow National Geographic Explorer Kerllen Costa have teamed up with three KhoiSan master trackers - Qui (/ui), Qui-Dawid and Kobus.
Refugees from a war-torn past and considered among the most marginalised people in southern Africa, the trackers return to their ancestral lands to succeed where advanced technology could not.
Guided by trance, memory and the sacred "Elephant Dance", their journey becomes an odyssey through a land of living myth, where forest spirits guard ancient lakes and the Luchaze people remain the last watchers of a vanishing world.
As they reconnect with the "Source of Life" - the waters that sustain the Okavango Basin across Angola, Namibia and Botswana - they seek not just lost elephants, but a path back to identity, hope and belonging.
Through storytelling style, sweeping visuals and rare access to the Luchaze people, Ghost Elephants is a lyrical tale of survival, reconnection and the enduring power of ancient knowledge in the face of modern loss.
