The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox revisits one of the most infamous legal battles of modern times, premiering August 20, 2025 on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium). The eight-part limited series will debut with two episodes, followed by weekly releases.
Revisiting the Case
The series dramatizes Amanda Knox’s ordeal following the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy. Wrongly convicted amid intense scrutiny, Knox spent years fighting to clear her name. Through courtroom drama, forensic flaws, and relentless media coverage, the show traces her 15-year struggle to reclaim her identity from the tabloids that branded her “Foxy Knoxy.”
Cast and Crew
Grace Van Patten leads as Amanda Knox, supported by Sharon Horgan as Knox’s mother Edda Mellas, John Hoogenakker as her father Curt Knox, Roberta Mattei as detective Monica Napoleoni, Francesco Acquaroli as prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, and Giuseppe Domenico as Knox’s ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.
Behind the project are executive producers Monica Lewinsky, Warren Littlefield, KJ Steinberg (who also serves as showrunner), and Knox herself—ensuring a personal and authentic perspective.
Themes and Expectations
More than a retelling of a notorious case, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox explores themes of justice, public perception, and the price of fame. With Knox and Lewinsky attached as producers, the series aims to spark fresh discussion on how media narratives shape lives and legacies.
Indian audiences can stream the show exclusively on JioHotstar starting August 20, 2025.
