The Hulu Original limited series, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, depicts the real life story of Knox, who was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher, while studying abroad in Italy in 2007. The show traces Knox's years-long battle to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom, while exploring why authorities and the world stood firmly in judgment against her. Executive producer Monica Lewinsky explained the project's purpose to unravel public perception of the case and to explore the anatomy of bias. Showrunner K.J. Steinberg also emphasized the need for fair representation of the controversial case and how many people still believe in Knox's innocence.
