Is this the same Ripley as the 1999 film?
No. Netflix’s Ripley is a 2024 limited series, not a continuation of the 1999 film. The earlier film starred Matt Damon as Tom Ripley, with Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow among its cast; Netflix’s series has Andrew Scott, Johnny Flynn and Dakota Fanning in the principal roles. The AP’s launch report discusses the series and earlier screen portrayals.
