Grace Van Patten will play the lead role in Hulu‘s upcoming untitled Amanda Knox project, executive produced by Knox herself.
Per the official description, the eight-episode limited series is “based on the true story of how Knox was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher, and her16-year odyssey to set herself truly free.”
Margaret Qualley was originally set to play Knox, but exited the project earlier this year due to scheduling conflicts.
Van Patten is best known for leading the Hulu drama series “Tell Me Lies,” which is based on Carola Lovering’s novel of the same name and recently wrapped production on its second season. She also starred in David E. Kelley’s Hulu limited series “Nine Perfect Strangers.” Other credits include the films “A Violent Heart,” “Good Posture,” “Under the Silver Lake” and “Mayday.” In 2017, she was named on PvNew‘s list of 10 Actors to Watch for her performance in Noah Baumback’s “The Meyerowitz Stories.”
