RIPLEY, which premiered on Netflix in April 2024, is a neo-noir psychological thriller television series created, written and directed by Steven Zaillian, based on Patricia Highsmith's 1955 crime novel THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY. The series starred Andrew Scott, Johnny Flynn and Dakota Fanning.

In late 1950s New York, Tom Ripley, a down-at-the-heels con man, is hired by a wealthy man to convince his prodigal son to return home from Italy. But Tom's introduction to Dickie Greenleaf's comfortable and leisurely life abroad turns out to be "the first step into a complex life of deceit, fraud and murder.

The composer for the series score is Jeff Russo, the renowned award-winning composer, songwriter, guitarist, vocalist, and music producer whose versatile talent has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry, from captivating TV series to compelling film scores and beyond.

Jason Drury had the pleasure of speaking with Jeff via Zoom at his Los Angeles home in April 2024. During the interview, they discussed his extensive work on RIPLEY as well as his career to date, with a focus on a number of his hit shows from his extensive resume.

Throughout the show, we will hear more music from RIPLEY as well as from other shows with music by Jeff Russo including FARGO, LEGION, STAR TREK: DISCOVERY and STAR TREK: PICARD.

Enjoy!
