Warning: Spoilers for the end of Ripley ahead. Ripley, Netflix's new adaptation of the 1955 Patricia Highsmith novel The Talented Mr. Ripley, brings literature's most notorious con-man to the small screen. Directed by Oscar winner Steven Zaillian, the eight-episode series stars Fleabag's "Hot Priest" himself, Andrew Scott, as Tom Ripley. When Tom is hired by a shipping scion to wayward heir Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), the chameleonic scammer sees an opportunity to change his life, no matter how many broken hearts (or dead bodies) he leaves in his wake.
The Netflix series is a faithful adaptation of Highsmith's novel, with viewers following Mr. Ripley throughout Italy as he evades authorities suspecting him for the murders of Dickie and Freddie Miles (Eliot Sumner). Though Ripley is billed as a miniseries, fans are wondering whether the series could continue, especially since there are plenty more "Ripliad" books that can be brought to life. Read on for everything we know about a possible Ripley season 2.
