Netflix has released the first teaser of Andrew Scott's upcoming thriller series, Ripley.
Set in Italy in the 1960s, the lavishly-shot limited series promises to be "a suspense-filled journey", with Dublin star Scott in the lead role.
It is based on Patricia Highsmith's bestselling Tom Ripley novels, which also inspired the classic 1999 movie The Talented Mr. Ripley, starring Matt Damon.
The streaming giant has also revealed that the series will launch on the platform on 4 April.
Scott leads the eight-episode series as the roguish protagonist Tom Ripley, who is described as a grifter scraping by in New York in the early 1960s.
He is hired by a wealthy industrialist to travel to Italy to try to convince the man's dilettante son, Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), to return home.
Accepting the job is Tom’s first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.
In addition to Scott in the title role, Dakota Fanning plays Marge Sherwood, Dickie's girlfriend, who suspects darker motives underlie Tom’s affability.
Ripley is written, directed, and executive produced by Academy Award winner Steve Zaillian, who previously wrote the screenplays for Schindler's List and The Irishman.
Ripley launches on Netflix on 4 April.
