Following a 2016 Netflix<\/a> documentary and a 2011 Lifetime film, Amanda Knox\u2019s story is now set to be told in an eight-part miniseries, starring Margaret Qualley in the central role.<\/p>\n

The series will tell the real-life story of Knox, who was wrongfully convicted and spent almost four years in prison in Italy for the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher.<\/p>\n

She was convicted in a 2009 trial alongside her boyfriend at the time, Raffaele Sollecito, and was sentenced to 26 years in prison.<\/p>\n

A successful appeal led to Knox being freed in 2011, and both she and her boyfriend were both definitively exonerated<\/a> by the Italian Supreme Court in 2015. She wrote about her experience in a 2013 memoir Waiting to Be Heard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The show will play out in eight hour-long episodes, and will stream on Hulu in the US. No home has yet been announced for the series in the UK, but most Hulu dramas stream here on Disney Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n
