Which Ripley Character Are You?

Learn More About Ripley

Ripley adapts Patricia Highsmith's classic novel The Talented Mr. Ripley into a stark, black-and-white psychological thriller, following con artist Tom Ripley as he is sent to Italy to retrieve a wealthy man's son and instead assumes his identity. Created and directed by Steven Zaillian, the Netflix limited series stars Andrew Scott in a widely praised performance, alongside Dakota Fanning and Johnny Flynn.

The show's deliberate pace and striking cinematography set it apart from prior adaptations, leaning into dread and slow-building tension rather than glamour. It earned strong reviews and multiple award nominations for Scott's chilling, quietly unsettling take on one of literature's most famous con men.
