RIPLEY is based on the Patricia Highsmith’s best-selling Tom Ripley novels set in the 1960s. Andrew plays the lead character, a grifter who is hired by a rich man to travel to Italy to get his drifter son to return home.
Of course, it’s not a straight forward task, and involves a complex life of deceit, fraud and even murder.
Tom Ripley is a career criminal, con artist and serial killer who gets away with his crimes.

The series also stars Dakota Fanning as Marge Sherwood and Johnny Flynn as Dickie Greenleaf. It’s written, produced and directed by Hollywood hot shot Steven Zaillian, the man behind hits including The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo and The Irishman.
The Tom Ripley book series was also the inspiration behind the hit movie The Talented Mr Ripley starring Oscar winner and Dalkey fan Matt Damon.
RIPLEY arrives on Netflix on April 4.
