Margaret Qualley is set to play the lead role in Hulu's upcoming limited series, which is currently untitled. The miniseries is being developed by 20th Television and The Littlefield Company ("Fargo", "The Handmaid's Tale"). The show hails from "This is Us" producer KJ Steinberg.
The eight-episode series is based on the true story of how Knox was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher and her 16-year odyssey to set herself free. Knox's case became the subject of intense media scrutiny for years. The story has been adapted before in a 2011 Lifetime movie, the 2014 film "The Face of an Angel" starring Daniel Bruhl and Kate Beckinsale, and was the focus of a 2016 documentary.
She and her then-boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were arrested after Kercher, Knox's roommate when both were studying in Italy, was found murdered in their apartment. Knox and Sollecito were convicted of killing Kercher in 2009, had their convictions overturned in 2011 and were found guilty again in a retrial before finally being exonerated in 2015 by Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation, the highest court in the country.
The show is executive produced by Steinberg, Qualley and Monica Lewinsky. Warren Littlefield, Lisa Harrison, Ann Johnson and Graham Littlefield also executive produce for the Littlefield Company, while Amanda Knox and Chris Robinson executive produce for Knox Robinson Productions.
