Overview

• The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox premiered on Hulu on August 20 with the first two of eight episodes, starring Grace Van Patten and executive produced by Amanda Knox.
• Meredith Kercher’s family, through their lawyer, condemned the series as undignified and accused it of prioritizing Knox’s narrative over the victim.
• Reviewers highlight Netflix’s 2016 Amanda Knox documentary as a fuller account featuring key interviews with Raffaele Sollecito, prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, and journalist Nick Pisa.
• Italian courts ultimately exonerated Knox and Sollecito, while DNA and a bloody handprint tied Rudy Guede to the crime; he was convicted in 2008, later released after about 13 years, and now faces a separate trial over new allegations.
• The coverage revisits disputed interrogation tactics and sensational media framing that shaped early perceptions of the case and Knox’s behavior.
