Amanda Knox Hulu Series Prompts Uproar While Filming in Perugia, the Italian City Where Meredith Kercher Was Murdered
Hulu's Amanda Knox series is prompting an uproar in the Italian city of Perugia, where the murder of Meredith Kercher took place 17 years ago.
The outcry has led the city’s mayor, Vittoria Ferdinandi, to issue a letter of apology to Perugia citizens, which was published in Italian newspapers. The eight-episode limited series – which the letter says is titled “Blue Moon” – is “based on the true story of how Knox was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher,” per the official synopsis. Knox and her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were initially convicted of Kercher’s murder in the headline-grabbing case, but were ultimately acquitted by Italy’s highest court in 2015.
