After several “based on” and “inspired by” attempts at telling the story of Amanda Knox and her wrongful conviction and imprisonment for the murder of her roommate in Italy, Amanda finally gets to tell the story as she lived it. “The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox” premieres on Hulu this week and unspools over eight episodes. In a special Hoytus Interruptus, Jeff & Cindy Hoyt sit down with Amanda and her husband Chris Robinson to unpack how the series got made. They’ll also describe the fears and concerns raised by Amanda’s friends and family around the dramatic event that bookends the series: Amanda’s return to Italy in 2022 to meet with the prosecutor who promoted the fantasies and fictions that turned the case into the media circus that ultimately led to her incarceration.
