EXCLUSIVE: Amanda Knox is ready to tell her story on screen. According to sources, Hulu is close to greenlighting a limited series about the author and activist’s wrongful conviction ordeal and its aftermath, which Knox will executive produce with Emmy-winning producer Warren Littlefield (Fargo, The Handmaid’s Tale) and Monica Lewinsky. Search is underway for an actress to play the lead.
Written and executive produced by KJ Steinberg (This Is Us), the untitled limited series is based on the true story of how Amanda Knox was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher and her sixteen-year odyssey to set herself free.
Steinberg and Lewinsky are executive producing the series, which is expected to film this year, with Warren Littlefield, Ann Johnson, Graham Littlefield & Lisa Harrison of The Littlefield Company as well as Knox & Chris Robinson. 20th Television is the studio.
The Amanda Knox series had been on priority-track development at Hulu for awhile. Lewinsky, who also is known for her activism, teased it in an October appearance on Today about a PSA campaign about self-bullying.
‘I wish it were announced already, but I’m executive producing a limited series that’s on another young woman who found her life decimated and ripped apart on the world stage, but she somehow managed to survive,” she said at the time. “I think it’s going to be really powerful.”
Lewinsky also took control of the narrative of a story that brought her notoriety in her 20s — her affair with President Bill Clinton — by serving as a producer on Ryan Murphy’s FX limited series Impeachment: American Crime Story, whose streaming home is on Hulu.
