Amanda Knox Story Reexamined in New Disney+, Hulu Series

A new series titled The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, streaming on Disney+ and Hulu, dramatizes the legal saga of Amanda Knox, a U.S. student wrongly convicted for the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy. Knox, who spent four years in prison before being exonerated by the Italian Supreme Court in 2015, is an executive producer of the series, which aims to tell her side of the story and shed light on the complexities and errors in the investigation and trial. The series features Grace Van Patten as Knox and explores how multiple perspectives and mistakes led to a miscarriage of justice. Alongside the series, ABC News is airing a special titled Search for the Truth: The Amanda Knox Story, featuring interviews with Knox and members of the production team. After her release, Knox returned to the U.S., resumed her education, and has since focused on writing and advocacy for the wrongfully accused. The show and related media projects offer a personal and nuanced look at Knox's experience, aiming to correct public misconceptions and highlight her resilience.
