US EditionAmanda Knox and Monica Lewinsky just might be the team-up people didn’t know they needed
The Hulu series explores Amanda Knox's wrongful conviction and public shaming, highlighting flaws in the criminal justice system and featuring Knox’s effort to reclaim her story.
- Amanda Knox and Monica Lewinsky executive-produce a new Hulu drama debuting Wednesday, adapting Knox’s memoir and starring Grace Van Patten, created by K.J. Steinberg.
- Knox and Lewinsky say their shared shaming drew them together, as Knox’s 2007 Perugia case, where she and Raffaele Sollecito were accused after Meredith Kercher’s death, shaped their collaboration.

- The series aims to push back against scandalmongering and caricatures, with creators framing Amanda Knox's ordeal as part of broader public shaming and criminal justice system failures.
