Overview

• Disney+ will launch the eight-episode series on August 20 with two episodes on day one, followed by weekly releases.
• Produced with Amanda Knox’s involvement and starring Grace Van Patten, the show is framed as a “how” and “why” rather than a “who” story by creator K. J. Steinberg.
• The dramatization highlights alleged investigative failures, including coercive interrogations and disputed forensic handling, and notes DNA on the body was attributed to Rudy Guede, who was convicted.
• Knox was convicted in 2009 and served four years before Italy’s highest court issued a final acquittal in 2015, and in 2025 she was found guilty of defamation with a three-year sentence counted as time served.
• Relatives of Meredith Kercher, cited by Newsweek, have criticized Knox for exploiting Meredith’s memory in retelling the case.
