Hulu has released an intense new trailer for its upcoming limited true crime series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, and I have no doubt this story is going to strike a nerve.
The series brings to life the harrowing real-life journey of Amanda Knox, the American college student who found herself at the center of an international media frenzy after being wrongfully convicted for the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher.
For fans of gripping true crime stories, this looks like essential viewing. Starring Grace Van Patten, Sharon Horgan, John Hoogenakker, Francesco Acquaroli, Giuseppe De Domenico, and Roberta Mattei, the show explores the chaos that unfolded after Knox arrived in Italy for a study abroad program.
Hulu’s synopsis reads: “The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox follows the eponymous American college student, who arrives in Italy for her study abroad only to be wrongfully imprisoned for murder weeks later.
“The series traces Amanda’s relentless fight to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom and examines why authorities and the world stood so firmly in judgment.”
Created by KJ Steinberg (This Is Us), The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is backed by a powerhouse team of executive producers including Warren Littlefield, Lisa Harrison, Ann Johnson, Graham Littlefield, Monica Lewinsky, and Amanda Knox herself. Michael Uppendahl directs the series, which is produced by 20th Television and The Littlefield Company.
You can start streaming The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox exclusively on Hulu beginning August 20.
