The one-hour special goes beyond the headlines and offers an unfiltered look at a very different Amanda in the aftermath.

Knox also talks about her involvement as an executive producer in Hulu's upcoming limited series inspired by her story, "The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox," premiering Wednesday, Aug. 20. Creator, executive producer and showrunner of the Hulu series K.J.
