The case of Amanda Knox is coming up on Hulu's The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, which is scheduled to release this Wednesday, August 20, 2025. Knox made headlines in 2007 when she and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were accused of murdering her British roommate, Meredith Kercher.
Knox was an exchange student in Perugia, Italy, from the University of Washington. Her life was turned upside down when she found herself in the middle of a murder case and had to endure years of sensationalized headlines, wrongful convictions, and retrials. She was finally acquitted by Italy’s Supreme Court in 2015.
Amanda Knox, who is now 38 years old and lives in Seattle, has rebuilt her life as a writer, journalist, podcaster, and activist. She advocates and fights for people like her who have been failed by the justice system.
Who is Amanda Knox, and what is she doing now?

20-year-old foreign exchange student Amanda Knox was accused of murdering her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, in 2007. She was found guilty and sentenced to 26 years in prison. What followed were years of legal battle waged by Knox and her family to prove her innocence. Amanda was finally acquitted in 2015 after eight years.
Amanda has now turned her traumatic experience into a book titled Waiting to Be Heard. The book detailed her arrest, conviction, and fight for freedom in Italy, and it became a New York Times bestseller.
In April 2025, Knox published her second memoir, Free: My Search for Meaning, which is more personal. It details her struggle to define her identity after years of being portrayed as a murderer in the media and coming to terms with the trauma of her wrongful conviction.
Amanda Knox has also become an advocate and public speaker, spreading awareness about wrongful convictions and helping those who suffered the same fate as her. In 2019, she returned to Italy as a keynote speaker for a criminal justice conference hosted by the Italy Innocence Project.
Knox also hosted The Scarlet Letter Reports on Facebook Watch in 2018 and launched her own podcast, The Truth About True Crime, the following year. In her podcast, Amanda explored notorious cases while seeking to humanize the individuals caught in them. Moreover, in 2016, Knox participated in the Netflix documentary Amanda Knox, telling her side of the story on screen for the first time right after her acquittal.
Is Amanda married now? About her family

The couple now has two children, and they live in Seattle. Their daughter, Eureka Muse Knox-Robinson, was born in 2021, and their son, Echo, was born in September 2023.
