Netflix has quickly become a top destination for compelling crime dramas, and their latest 7-season series is a perfect addition. The streaming service already offers a strong selection of thrilling crime shows, and recent success with shows like Jon Bernthal’s His & Hers proves this genre is incredibly popular with viewers around the globe.
Netflix has seen strong viewership for returning thriller series like The Lincoln Lawyer and The Night Agent with their latest seasons. This proves audiences enjoy ongoing shows, not just self-contained limited series like His & Hers. This new series fits nicely into that sweet spot – offering a compelling crime thriller while also having the potential for multiple seasons.
The Mentalist Arrives On Netflix At The Perfect Time
The popular crime drama The Mentalist, which originally aired for seven seasons on CBS, is now streaming on Netflix in several countries starting March 1st. According to What’s on Netflix, you can currently watch it in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and throughout Latin America. As of now, it’s still unclear if Netflix will add the show in the United States, but it is available on Hulu across the country.
The show revolves around Patrick Jane, played by Simon Baker, a skilled trickster who used to pretend to be a psychic. After a serial killer called Red John murders his wife and daughter – a result of Jane’s past cons – he starts working as a consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation. Fans of The Mentalist will be pleased to know that two of the show’s stars are reuniting in a new project.
Prime Video’s new series, Scarpetta, stars Simon Baker as Benton Wesley and features Amanda Righetti, known from The Mentalist, as a younger version of Dorothy Scarpetta. Jamie Lee Curtis plays the older version of the character. With Scarpetta premiering on Prime Video on March 11th and The Mentalist becoming available on Netflix a week earlier, this reunion of Baker and Righetti is perfectly timed for fans to enjoy.
Why The Mentalist Fans Should Check Out Prime Video’s Scarpetta
If you enjoyed The Mentalist and just finished watching it on Netflix, you’ll likely love Scarpetta. This crime thriller offers a similar feel and focuses on solving mysteries. Plus, the main character, Benton Wesley, is an FBI profiler, much like Patrick Jane was – he analyzes criminals to help solve cases.
Simon Baker, known for his role in The Mentalist, is set to star in a new project alongside Nicole Kidman. Given Baker’s talent and the buzz surrounding their on-screen pairing, this is expected to be a captivating performance. The show is based on a popular book series and has already been renewed for another season, making its arrival on Netflix perfectly timed to highlight Baker’s latest work.
