Nearly two decades after her wrongful conviction and imprisonment made international headlines, Amanda Knox reclaimed her story on her own terms with Hulu’s limited series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. The 8-episode drama, which wrapped on October 1, 2025, revisited the Meredith Kercher case and the media firestorm that followed, while also exploring Knox’s search for closure and agency. Grace Van Patten led the cast as Knox, earning praise for bringing new perspective to one of the most infamous trials of the 21st century.
Knox, who co-wrote and executive produced the project, emphasized the show’s purpose. “This is not a show about the worst experience of someone’s life,” she told The New York Times ahead of the premiere. “This is the show of a person’s choice to find closure on their own terms and to reclaim a sense of agency in their own life after that agency has been stolen from them.”
