This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hi, everyone. It's Sophia. Welcome to Work in Progress.

Welcome back to Work in progress, friends.

This week we have someone I am elated to talk to.

As you all know from our wonderful episode with Amanda Knox,

I am fascinated with her story.

And her story has come to life on Hulu with the twisted tale of Amanda Knox, which is

dominating the conversation right now and certainly expanding the already impressive reach of its star,

Grace Van Patten. Grace was raised by two creative parents and quickly established her own artistic identity and voice.

She has worked with incredible visionaries like Noah Bombach and Nicole Kidman. Her Hulu series

Tell Me Lies is on its way back to us for its third season and promises to be even more

intense. But my goodness, the intensity of this role. Grace plays Amanda

Knox with such a commitment to the mess of it all, the fear, the anxiety, the trauma, frankly,

of what it's like to be wrongly accused of a heinous

crime. And the show really leans into investigating perception, justice, and identity. It's the

kind of layered storytelling that, as an observer, I would say, has become Grace's signature.

She gravitates toward complex characters.

She amplifies women's voices.

And she wants to be part of roles that challenge the way society treats us.

She is exactly the kind of artist.

I am thrilled to sit down with and chat with today.

Let's dive in with Grace Van Patten.
