Teaser Trailer for Hulu Crime Series THE TWISTED TALE OF AMANDA KNOX Based on the True Story — GeekTyrant
Hulu has released the first teaser trailer for the crime series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox , based on the true story that filled worldwide news outlets in 2007.
The series was created and written by KJ Steinberg ( Gossip Girl , This Is Us ). Grace Van Patten stars in the series, and is joined in the cast by Sharon Horgan, John Hoogenakker, Francesco Acquaroli, Giuseppe De Domenico, and Roberta Mattei.
The synopsis reads, 'A new series inspired by the story of how Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted in Italy for the tragic murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher, and her 16-year odyssey to set herself free.'
While this doesn't say a whole lot, many of us are pretty familiar with the case, and it looks like the series really dives in and tells the story that was nearly a decade in the making.
Check out the teaser trailer below, and watch The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox on Hulu starting August 20th.

Sofia Franklyn Compares Herself To Scooter Braun
Former Call Her Daddy host Sofia Franklyn just compared her departure from the podcast to one of the biggest music industry feuds, and it's a rather bold statement. Sofia hosted the Call Her Daddy podcast alongside her roommate, Alex Cooper, from 2018 to 2020. Today, Sofia is the host of her own hit podcast, Sofia with an F. In her new Hulu docuseries Call Her Alex, Alex explained that she and Sofia signed a three-year contract and a "70 grand" deal with Barstool Sports at the beginning of their podcast together. When the popularity of Call Her Daddy skyrocketed, the co-hosts renegotiated their pay in 2020. In the series, Alex said Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy told them, "If you stay at Barstool for one more year, you can own Call Her Daddy."According to the series, Sofia didn't want to take the new deal and decided to leave the podcast, to which Alex said, "I realized the 'Daddy Gang' was bigger than both of us," and believes she made the correct decision. Speaking of her dynamic with Sofia, Alex also said in the docuseries, "It was the classic, 'You think you see something online and people genuinely believe you're like sisters, but our relationship was so awful.'" On June 16, Sofia appeared on the Trading Secrets podcast with Bachelor alum Jason Tartick to explain her side of the exit from Call Her Daddy, and that's when she compared it to the drama between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun. Sofia has remained relatively quiet about her exit from the podcast. Now, she finally explained that she made this decision out of fear of "looking crazy" if she was honest about her fallout with Alex. However, she could relate to how people were "villainized" in the situation between Taylor and Scooter. In 2019, Scooter acquired Taylor Swift's catalog, which ignited a very public feud between the two, with Scooter receiving a lot of backlash. Taylor went on to re-record and release four studio albums. In May 2025, Taylor announced that she had finally bought back her music catalog. Sofia told Jason that Scooter is a dream podcast guest based on what he experienced during the feud over Taylor's masters. "When I saw the Taylor Swift stuff and looked into it, he looked like a horrible human being," Sofia said. "Then in hindsight, when I was really looking at the details, it's like, well ... he bought something legally ... He was so villainized." What makes Sofia's comparison a miss, in my opinion, is that Scooter and Taylor's feud goes beyond his purchase of the label Big Machine Records, which included Taylor's music, and the subsequent sale to another company. Scooter was Kanye West's (now Ye) manager during his 2016 beef with Taylor, and she has apparently considered him her nemesis for awhile. Their feud even resulted in Taylor being labeled a "snake" and blasted on social media. Scooter was even pictured in a screenshot from a FaceTime call with Ye and Justin Bieber with the caption: "Taylor swift what up." Scooter's proximity to Taylor's situation with Kanye over the release of his controversial song "Famous" and even the footage Kim Kardashian released later in an attempt to discredit the "Karma" singer, it's no surprise she wasn't a fan of her music catalog being even referenced that photo of Scooter, Justin, and Ye, claiming she received "incessant, manipulative bullying" from Scooter, like "when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it." Perhaps the split of the Call Her Daddy hosts was as toxic as the Taylor and Scooter drama that lasted over many years and involved several high-profile celebrities with the internet fandoms blowing it out of proportion — but I personally would never want to compare myself to that.

STARZ streaming deal: Save 66% on your first year
STARZ may be one of the more affordable streaming services out there, but that doesn't mean it isn't packed with amazing content. The streamer will keep you endlessly entertained with hits like "Outlander," "Minx," "The White Queen," and more. Plus, you can save even more on a subscription if you take advantage of the current STARZ deal. Right now, STARZ is offering new subscribers one year of streaming for just $23.99 if they opt for the annual payment plan or three months for $3.99 a month if they opt for the monthly payment plan. While this isn't the first time STARZ has offered this discount on the annual plan, we have yet to see the streamer advertise a lower price, so you can rest easy knowing you're getting the best deal possible. In addition to a wide selection of hit series, a subscription will also give you access to popular movies like "M3GAN," "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," "Guardians of the Galaxy," and more. Check out our full STARZ guide to learn more about content, pricing, and bundle options. Keep in mind that the current discount is only valid for the first year of your subscription if you choose the annual plan or the first three months if you choose the monthly plan. The annual deal also requires you to pay for the full year upfront. Once the deal window has passed, your subscription will automatically renew at the then-standard price (right now, that's $69.99 a year for the annual plan or $10.99 a month for the monthly plan). That said, you can cancel at any time. STARZ deal frequently asked questions Can current STARZ subscribers get the discount? The current STARZ deal is valid for new subscriptions only. Previous STARZ subscribers can still claim the discount if they cancel their current subscription and resubscribe. Does STARZ offer a free trial? At the time of writing, STARZ does not offer a free trial on its website. However, you can get a weeklong free trial of the service if you subscribe through another streaming app like Hulu or Prime Video. Keep in mind that you won't be eligible for the current STARZ discount unless you subscribe directly through the STARZ website. Should I get the monthly or annual STARZ deal? If you plan to keep your STARZ subscription long term, the annual deal is a much better value. For reference, if you opt for the monthly deal but choose to keep your subscription for a full year, you'll pay $110.88 for the year as opposed to the $23.99 if you choose the annual plan to begin with. That said, the annual deal requires you to pre-pay for all 12 months, so the monthly deal may be a better choice if you don't plan to keep the subscription for more than three months.

'King of the Hill' Revival First Clip Confirms Another Character's Return
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The new "King of the Hill" revival is set for an Aug. 5 release date on Hulu. While fans have been treated to a new opening and posters showcasing a much older-looking cast, along with returning characters — the series has dropped its first clip. More news: New 'King of the Hill' Revival Poster Gives First Look at Two Returning Characters Now this is what I call a good time. All episodes of #KingOfTheHill's new season drop Aug 4th on Hulu. — kingofthehill (@kingofthehill) June 18, 2025 The clip opens with Hank admiring a baseball that was thrown out by George W. Bush, as he is touring the George W. Bush Museum with Nancy Gribble, Dale Gribble, and Peggy Hill. In typical Hank fashion, he is impressed not only by the baseball but also by a pen that was apparently used to end offshore drilling by former President Bush. Though Hank has a typical nature about him, there is a moment where Peggy showcases a far darker turn. She mentions to Nancy that she will take her own life if they have to remain at the museum, with Nancy quipping that she is not allowed to leave her at the museum alone. More news: 'King of the Hill' Revival Reveals New Opening and a Much Older Bobby Hill It appears that Peggy does not share Hank's affinity for the former president, or she is quite simply bored with being at the museum. Either way, this is a stark comparison for the characters. This is also the first time the "King of the Hill" revival has confirmed that Nancy Gribble will not only be in the series, but that she could still be married to Dale. One of the biggest running gags in the series is how Nancy was having an affair with John Redcorn. Though she eventually ends the affair during the series' original run, anything can happen. Ashley Gardner was the voice of Nancy through the run of the entire series, and it has not yet been confirmed if she has returned to voice the character once again. "The King of the Hill" revival is set to stream exclusively on Hulu and features a much older cast of characters. In the new opening, it is revealed that Hank, Peggy, and Bobby have returned to Arlen, Texas. Why the Hills have returned is still a mystery, but what is known is that Bobby is now a renowned chef. The opening also revealed that Dale Gribble has run for Mayor of Arlen, though there is no confirmation if he actually won and is acting mayor.
