From Podcast to TV: Scamanda’s Twisted Tale Hits ABC

Discover the jaw-dropping true crime tale of Amanda Riley’s web of lies, from the hit Scamanda podcast to ABC’s upcoming series.

I’ve always been a fan of a well-told true crime story, and the Scamanda podcast knocked it out of the park. This limited series chronicles the unbelievable saga of Amanda Riley, a woman who manipulated her friends, family, and community for years with fake stories about her supposed cancer diagnosis. She used social media to document her “battle” and even creating fundraisers to pocket sympathy money from well-meaning supporters. It’s a wild ride of lies, betrayal, and shocking manipulation, all to gain attention and cash.

I first discovered Scamanda back in February, and I’ve been obsessed ever since! I’ve recommended it to everyone I know because the twists in Amanda’s con are just too insane to miss. And now, I’m so excited because ABC and Hulu are turning the story into a limited true crime series, set to premiere on ~~October~~ ~~9th~~ ~~16th~~ in 2025. Trust me, if the podcast is any indication, this series is going to be a must-watch for true crime fans!
