“Many people think they know my story. But now, finally, it’s my turn to tell it,” says Grace Van Patten in the role of Knox for Hulu‘s forthcoming limited series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.
In the first footage (below), the Tell Me Lies star makes her debut as Knox for the series that also boasts Knox as a producer behind the scenes, along with Monica Lewinsky.
The scripted series, inspired by actual events, spans 15 years to cover the time from Knox’s infamous murder accusation in Perugia, Italy, up to modern day. The trailer asks if the truth exits if no one believes it, and sees Van Patten saying, “For 15 years, I’ve been defined by something that I didn’t do.”
Here’s the brief logline: “A limited series inspired by the story of how Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted for the tragic murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, and her 16-year odyssey to set herself free.”
Sharon Horgan, John Hoogenakker, Francesco Acquaroli, Giuseppe De Domenico and Roberta Mattei round out the cast.
The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox premieres Wednesday, Aug. 20 with two episodes, with new episodes streaming weekly on Hulu until the series finale on Oct. 1.
Created by executive producer KJ Steinberg (This Is Us), the series hails from 20th Television in association with The Littlefield Company. Executive producers also include Warren Littlefield, Lisa Harrison, Ann Johnson, and Graham Littlefield (The Littlefield Company), along with Lewinsky (Alt Ending Productions); Knox and Chris Robinson (Knox Robinson Productions); and Michael Uppendahl, who also directs.
