The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox: Plot, cast list, and trailer explored

The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is based on the true story of Meredith Kercher, a British student who was murdered in 2007. The case made headlines around the world when Amanda Knox, a 20-year-old University of Washington student participating in an exchange program in Perugia, Italy, was charged with Kercher's murder.

When she and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were identified as the main suspects, Knox saw her life completely turn upside down. After a lengthy legal battle, Knox was convicted and sentenced to 26 years in prison. Her conviction was later overturned.

The official synopsis of the series reads:

“The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox follows the eponymous American college student, who arrives in Italy for her study abroad only to be wrongfully imprisoned for murder weeks later. The series traces Amanda's relentless fight to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom, and examines why authorities and the world stood so firmly in judgment."

The series examines not only the legal proceedings following Knox's arrest but also how the case personally impacted her and her family.
