Saint X on Hulu presents a gripping crime story with plenty of believability as well as shocking twists, but is the series based on a true story?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Saint X on Hulu tells a shocking and gripping crime story with plenty of twists and turns, but the show's believability has left many to wonder if it is based on a true story. The psychological drama series was developed for the screen by Leila Gerstein and follows Emily as she travels to the Caribbean to finally learn the truth about her older sister's brutal murder two decades earlier.
The series was met with derision from most critics who lambasted the show for its slow pace, unsatisfying ending, and bloated running time. However, it did fare much better with audience members, and it earned an impressive 84% score on RT with average viewers. Despite its extremely mixed reception, Saint X joins a list of the best shows on Hulu, and represents the streamer's push for more exciting original content in a wide variety of genres.
Though Saint X is fiction, it does bear a striking resemblance to the very real Natalee Holloway case which gripped the world in 2005. Holloway was a young woman from Alabama who, just days after her high school graduation, went missing while on vacation in Aruba. Though multiple suspects have been arrested, the case remains unsolved, and details in the Holloway case are quite similar to the Saint X book and show.
Saint X Season 2 Is Not Confirmed Besides the lackluster critical reception, Saint X on Hulu isn't likely to get a second season largely because it used up all the material from its literary source. Perfect for a limited series, Schaitkin's book didn't leave a lot of room for more, though that hasn't stopped TV executives in the past. Hit shows like Handmaid's Tale and Big Little Lies were both based on singular novels, but were expanded in order to meet demand.
