Hyped true-crime limited series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox started on August 20, 2025, and episodes have been telecasted on Hulu and Disney+. Directed and written by activist Monica Lewinsky, this eight-part drama series revisits one of the most scandalous international trials of the 21st century. It is centered on the case of Amanda Knox, played by Grace Van Patten, who was unfairly convicted in Italy after the horrific murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007.
The show highlights wrongful convictions, flawed investigations, and the adverse impacts of network sensationalism. The show is promised to be part courtroom, part drama, and part lesson of justice-in-action at 50-55 minutes per episode on average.

- Episode 4: All You Need Is Love

Every episode represents a gradual collapse of the personal and legal struggles that Knox had endured, all revolving around the truth, persistence, and media coverage.
Storyline and What to Expect
The series repurposes the Perugia murder case of 2007, but instead of focusing solely on the ordeal that Amanda Knox went through, it also explores the lives of those who were trapped by the aftermath of this crime. It describes her relationship with Raffaele Sollecito (Giuseppe De Domenico), how she was wrongly convicted, and how she had to struggle to regain her identity over the course of several years.
The episodes bring the focus on the
mistakes of the police, the notorious role of prosecutor Giuliano Mignini (Francesco Acquaroli), and the media mania that determined the opinion of the whole world. In addition to the trial, another aspect of the novel that the reader can see is the inner world of Knox, her bad relationship with her father, and her quest to redeem herself.
Cast and Crew
The reality-based actors of the show include:
- Grace Van Patten as Amanda Knox
- Anna Van Patten as Deanna Knox

- Francesco Acquaroli as Giuliano Mignini
- Rhianne Barreto as Meredith Kercher
- Souleymane Seye Ndiaye as Patrick Lumumba

The series is authored by Monica Lewinsky, but it is a mixture of both a true-life tragedy and a dramatization, as no one can ever find the show boring, but at the same time, the show is also sensitive to the lives of people whose lives have been altered due to it.
Final Word
The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is proving to be a streaming release that everyone will be talking about in 2025, thanks to its combination of true-crime drama, crisp performances, and fastidious storytelling.
