Amanda Knox Takes Creative Lead on Hulu Drama as New Episode Revisits False HIV Scare

Her point-of-view retelling challenges years of sensational coverage tied to a disputed investigation.

Overview

  • Episode 3 portrays Knox’s early days in prison and a falsely reported HIV result that officials later retracted, reflecting an ordeal she has discussed publicly.
  • Knox is an executive producer on The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, collaborating with her husband Christopher Robinson, with Monica Lewinsky among the producers.
  • The eight-episode limited series premiered on Hulu on August 20 with weekly installments, featuring Grace Van Patten as Knox.
  • The show depicts prosecutor Giuliano Mignini’s pursuit as a central force in her conviction, contrasting with later appeals that highlighted flawed evidence handling and culminated in her 2015 acquittal.
  • Coverage underscores how Knox was sexualized and vilified in the press, even as Rudy Guede was convicted in connection with Meredith Kercher’s murder.
