If you’ve still got the Netflix crime doco shakes after Making a Murderer, and you’re stinging for something new, your prayers may or may not have been answered – because the infamous Amanda Knox case is getting its streaming series treatment, and now we’ve got trailers.

The trailers look intense:
Looks fun. It launches on September 30.
