In The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, an American student (Grace Van Patten) studying abroad in Italy is arrested for the murder of her roommate. A very public trial results in a lengthy prison stay for Knox and the introduction of new evidence that serves to alternately incriminate and exonerate her as she continues to fight to prove her innocence.
Awards Buzz spoke with Van Patten about learning to speak Italian as she was filming and how that reflected Knox’s own experience and familiarity with the language. Watch the video above to hear how it feels to be part of a contained limited series as compared with a show that’s meant to return and continue.
The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is streaming on Hulu.
