Margaret Qualley pulls out of playing Amanda Knox in major new TV series about ... trends now
Margaret Qualley has backed out of a new Hulu series in which she was to play Amanda Knox.
The Poor Things actress, 29, was attached to the project back in March as both its lead and executive producer, but Deadline reported on Tuesday that she has pulled out due to 'scheduling conflicts.'
The untitled project has been described as being 'based on the true story of how Knox was wrongfully convicted for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher and her 16-year odyssey to set herself free.'
Margaret is currently working on a movie called Honey Don't!, alongside Aubrey Plaza. Her exit won’t impact production of the eight-episode series as filming isn't scheduled to start filming until October.

The Poor Things actress, 29, was attached to the project back in March, but Deadline reported on Tuesday that she has pulled out due to 'scheduling conflicts.'
DailyMail.com exclusively revealed in October 2023 that Amanda has teamed up with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky on the big-budget TV drama about her life.
The two women have formed a 'close' bond while working on the project, which will see Amanda shedding new and dramatic light on the untimely death of British student Meredith, 21, who was found brutally stabbed to death in their shared home in Perugia, Italy, in 2007.
The case gripped the globe when it began to unfold - and its many gory details, twists, and turns, have since been the focus of several TV dramas.
Amanda is set to put her own spin on the retelling of events that have been so closely scrutinized over the last 16 years - and all with the help of Monica, 50, with whom she has become 'very close' during the production of the series.
'Monica and Amanda have become very close and are in touch almost constantly. They find that they have a lot in common, and support each other,' a friend told DailyMail.com.
Monica, 50, who was herself thrown into the spotlight after it was revealed that she'd had an affair with then-President Bill Clinton when she was 22 years old and working as a White House intern, first hinted at the show last year.
While she didn't divulge much, she teased an exciting new project during an appearance on the Today show - revealing that she was working with 'another young woman who found her life ripped apart'.
She said, 'I wish it were announced already, but I’m executive producing a series on another young woman who found her life ripped apart on the world stage, but she somehow managed to survive.
