About Ripley

Ripley is a Netflix limited series that premiered in 2024, written and directed by Steven Zaillian and based on Patricia Highsmith's novel The Talented Mr. Ripley. Shot in luminous black-and-white, it follows Tom Ripley, a small-time grifter in early-1960s New York hired by a wealthy man to travel to Italy and persuade his wayward son, Dickie Greenleaf, to come home. Instead, Tom becomes intoxicated by Dickie's gilded life โ€” and willing to do anything to claim it.

A patient, exquisitely crafted slow-burn, the series turns the mechanics of deception into something hypnotic, lingering on Ripley's meticulous improvisations as suspicion gathers. It is a study of envy, class, and the cold artistry of a man remaking himself through fraud and worse.

Led by a chillingly precise Andrew Scott, with Johnny Flynn and Dakota Fanning, Ripley is a stylish, acclaimed psychological thriller.
