New Amanda Knox Documentary Shows A Different Side To Her

Amanda Knox’s time in the spotlight will continue with a new documentary set to premiere on Hulu this month. While Knox has essentially been living her life in the public eye for almost two decades, the upcoming project is said to present a more personal, rarely seen side of her story.

The documentary is titled “Mouth of the Wolf: Amanda Knox Returns to Italy,” and will become available to stream on January 26. The film follows events from 2022, when the mother of two traveled back to the country where she was once imprisoned for a crime she has long maintained she did not commit.

Amanda Knox’s journey to Hollywood success began in extraordinary and tragic circumstances. In 2009, she was convicted in Italy for the murder of her roommate in Perugia.

Her incarceration and prolonged fight to clear her name have since been examined through numerous multimedia projects.

From Knox’s perspective, “Mouth of the Wolf” is different from the rest because it focuses less on the case itself and more on how that chapter in her life still impacts her today.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the documentary’s release, Knox emphasized that the experience remains unresolved to her. “This isn’t just this bad thing that happened to me 20 years ago,” she said. “I am still reckoning with the pain and the hurt and the fear.”

The significance of “Mouth of the Wolf” for Knox goes way beyond its portrayal of this deeply personal subject matter.

The documentary project is directed by her husband, Christopher Robinson, marking his first time behind the camera as a feature-length director.

While it might feel like a risky choice to hand such a high-stakes project to a first-time filmmaker, Knox is adamant that Robinson was the only man for the job.

In an interview with Seattle’s KOMO 4 TV, she said the world would see her through his eyes in the documentary. “This is just footage of me in really, really difficult moments,” Knox explained. “And the only reason anyone has access to that is because it’s my husband.”

Knox is no stranger to working with Hulu, having previously been an executive producer on a scripted miniseries based on her life.

Titled “The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,” the series premiered in 2025 and dramatized Knox’s experiences through a fictionalized lens.

“Tell Me Lies” actress Grace Van Patten portrayed Knox in the leading role. The miniseries received generally favorable reviews from critics, with several describing it as a “needed” and “cathartic” retelling of the story from her own perspective.

Every screen project Knox has been involved in so far has centered on events in her personal life. That may soon change.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Knox and her husband revealed that they are now actively developing new material, both scripted and unscripted, under their own production banner.

“Amanda and I have our own little boutique production company, and we are pursuing scripted stories and unscripted stories right now,” Robinson told THR.

Beyond her work on film and television, Knox has also been experimenting with stand-up comedy in recent years.

While this pivot feels like a significantly different creative lane, she has actually already clocked some notable achievements in the field. Among them was an opening set at a Nikki Glaser show in Seattle, where Knox performed in front of an audience of thousands.

She also appeared in “The Roast of Whitney Cummings,” which streamed on OnlyFans in May 2023.

If Knox and Robinson have their way, comedy will continue to play a role in their future work, with the genre factoring into several of the projects they say are currently in development.
