Eight episodes planned
Amanda Knox is filming her own TV series
The murder allegations against Amanda Knox caused a worldwide stir 17 years ago. Now the US-American is filming a TV series about the murder in Perugia, Italy, in which the British exchange student Meredith Kercher died in 2007. Monica Lewinsky is also on board.
Filming is currently taking place in Orvieto and is scheduled to run from Tuesday to Friday in Perugia. The series is set in various locations in the historic center of Perugia.
US actress Grace Van Patten (27, "Nine Perfect Strangers") is to play Knox - also known as the "Angel with the Ice Eyes" - who has been acquitted of murder in the eight-part mini-series. The series will be produced by Knox herself and by Monica Lewinsky, among others.
Acquittal after four years in prison
Knox hit the headlines in 2007 in connection with the murder of British exchange student Kercher in Italy. In 2009, an Italian court sentenced her to a long prison term for the murder. In 2015, however, Knox was finally acquitted of the charge following an appeal. Until then, she had spent almost four years in prison.
Lewinsky had already been involved in the series "Impeachment: American Crime Story", which depicted former US President Bill Clinton's sex affair with the then White House intern more than 20 years ago.
Knox now a mother of two
The 37-year-old Knox, who is now the mother of two children, described her experiences in her memoir "Waiting to be Heard", published in 2013.
The former student's story was also the focus of a Netflix series and the Lifetime movie "Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy".
