Amanda Knox Drama Debuts on Disney+ and Hulu With Knox as Executive Producer

The eight-part series centers on Knox’s perspective of investigative failures.

Overview

  • Disney+/Hulu released The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox on August 20, launching with two episodes followed by weekly installments.
  • Amanda Knox attended the New York premiere and is credited as an executive producer, with Grace Van Patten starring and Monica Lewinsky and K. J. Steinberg among the producers.
  • The dramatization draws on Knox’s memoir Waiting to Be Heard and presents the case primarily through her account.
  • Creators frame the show as an inquiry into police and forensic missteps and media bias, with Steinberg calling it a story about how and why rather than a whodunit.
  • Kercher family representatives, cited by Newsweek, criticize the project as exploiting Meredith’s memory, and Knox’s 2025 Italian defamation verdict carried a three-year sentence counted as already served.
