Unravelling the truth: Grace Van Patten to star in 'The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox'
"The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" stars Grace Van Patten. Image: Instagram True crime fans can prepare to delve into a harrowing chapter of legal mishaps and personal tragedy with the upcoming limited series, "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox". Disney+ recently announced that the eight-episode journey, inspired by one of the most controversial criminal cases in recent history, will premiere on Wednesday, August 20. The gripping story will follow Amanda Knox, an American student wrongfully accused of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in 2007 while they were studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. Twenty-one-year-old Kercher's body was found in her bedroom, partly undressed and with multiple stab wounds. She had been sexually assaulted. The series chronicles Knox's unsettling odyssey - from being sentenced to 26 years in prison alongside her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito due to inadequate circumstantial evidence, to navigating the Italian judicial system. Grace Van Patten and Giuseppe De Domenico in "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox". Image: Instagram After a protracted battle, burdened by media scrutiny, false accusations, and personal tragedy, an Italian supreme court ultimately cleared Knox of all charges in 2015, leading to her exoneration. Grace Van Patten, popular for her role in "Tell Me Lies", stars as Knox. Van Patten's portrayal promises to capture Knox's experience, from her wrongful conviction to her difficult fight for exoneration. Sharon Horgan will portray Knox's mother, Edda Mellas, with John Hoogenakker as Knox's father, Curt. Francesco Acquaroli takes up the role of the Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, Giuseppe De Domenico will embody Raffaele Sollecito, Knox's then-boyfriend, while Roberta Mattei infuses the series with intensity as Monica Napoleoni, a fierce prosecutor's aide determined to see Knox and Sollecito convicted. "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox" will premiere on Wednesday, August 20 on Disney+. Image: Instagram The case captivated global audiences, highlighting issues of media influence and the legal injustices faced by those wrongfully accused. In an exclusive interview with "Us Weekly", Knox expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to retell her story. 'It really comes down to this idea of do I have a voice and does my voice matter in how a story is told? That is what Hulu has recognised,' Knox remarked. Meanwhile, in another online report, Meredith Kercher's sister, Stephanie Kercher said Meredith's 'strength and love remains strong after 17 years' and that she 'will forever hold a lasting legacy in friendship and kindness that no media can change'. Stephanie said her family had been through a lot and found it 'difficult to understand' how the series served any purpose. 'Meredith will always be remembered for her own fight for life, and yet in her absence, her love and personality continues to shine ... We will forever feel this indescribable void but we live by Meredith's standards with dignity.'
