The 1is November 2007, British student Meredith Kercher was found with her throat slit in her room, in the apartment she shared with her three roommates in this city in central Italy in which she was doing a university exchange. Suspicion quickly falls on a 20-year-old young man named Rudy Guede, whose DNA is found at the crime scene. Arrested in Germany, he will be convicted for the murder and rape of Meredith Kercher.

But in November 2024, this story is in the news again. A new series dedicated to him, intended for the streaming platform Hulu, is currently being filmed. Produced by
