Just like that, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox has come to an end. The season 1 finale wrapped up the case, as Amanda put her freedom and safety at risk to face her accuser.
Over the course of eight episodes, we watched how Amanda’s life fell apart. We saw how she thought she was just helping the police solve the crime, only for her to be accused to murder and sentenced to 26 years in an Italian prison.
Whichever side you’re on when it comes to her guilt, there is no denying that the police messed up. They rushed to make the evidence fit, and they even circumvented protocol to get the answers that they wanted. Mixed with the court of public opinion, it’s no wonder that this case remains a mystery, even with one man accepting that he did kill Meredith Kercher—even if he says that he wasn’t alone.
The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is billed as a limited series
There are a lot of questions still, but those questions are likely to go unanswered. Even for Amanda! With this in mind, it means that there’s no need for a second season until some of those answers come out. If they ever will!
There’s no need for a second season of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, and there was never the intention of bringing it. This series has been billed as a limited series, which means it’s one and done.
Now yes, there are times that shows have been picked up for a second season despite being billed as a limited series at first. We don’t see that happening with Amanda Knox as there is no way of furthering the story. This isn’t some fictionalized drama. It’s based on Amanda’s real-life experiences.
The Twisted Tale could be transformed into an anthology
If Hulu wants to keep this type of story going, though, there is a way to do it. It’s all about the anthology. The Twisted Tale could just be the start of the title for a mixture of stories about those wrongly accused or unfairly hated on by the court of public opinion.
With Amanda Knox and Monica Lewinsky behind the first season, we could see them work together with others to help share their sides of their stories. This will depend on if there has been enough interest after the first season, and whether there is even interest in other people’s stories.
For now, I wouldn’t expect anything more from this series but never say “never.”
The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox is available to stream on Hulu.
