Ripley: miniseries about 60s con man Tom Ripley on Netflix

From April 4, 2024, fans of thrillers and psychological dramas are invited to discover Ripley, a mini-series that promises to be spellbinding. Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn join forces in this captivating adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's best-selling novels, under the skillful direction of Steven Zaillian.

The series takes us back to the 60s, where we meet Tom Ripley, a New York crook played by Andrew Scott. Ripley is a complex character, caught up in a whirlwind of events that push him to the limits of lies, fraud and even murder. His mission in Italy, to convince the bohemian son of a businessman to return home, proves to be the starting point for a dizzying descent into a world of deceptions and illusions.

Dakota Fanning, as Marge Sherwood, and Johnny Flynn, as Dickie Greenleaf, complete the main trio, and should deliver performances that enrich the story with nuance and tension. Marge is Dickie's caring companion, while Dickie is the object of Ripley's desire and envy, triggering a series of unpredictable and dramatic events.
