The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Fact-based drama starring Grace Van Patten and Sharon Horgan
Year: 2025
Certificate: 15
In 2007, British exchange student Meredith Kercher was found murdered in her apartment in Perugia, Italy. Her roommate, the American student Amanda Knox (Grace Van Patten), was convicted of her murder amid a storm of media coverage. This controversial eight-part drama centres on Knox's 16-year battle to prove her innocence in the face of a wave of public opinion that had already pronounced her guilty.
Van Patten offers up a determined and powerful performance as Knox, giving a very personal sense of exactly what she suffered during the investigation and her time in prison, with fine support from Sharon Horgan as her mother and Grace's real-life sister Anna Van Patten as Knox's sister, Deanna.
Knox herself also serves as an executive producer for the series, as does another woman wronged by the court of public opinion - Monica Lewinsky. Kercher's family were not involved and have been critical of the drama. 'This continuous stirring is a demonstration of a lack of sensitivity,' their lawyer stated. (Eight episodes)
