It’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything about the plight of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey. Shortly afterMaking a Murdererbecame an instant hit onNetflix, the streaming giant promised follow-up episodes would arrive soon. But they didn’t arrive soon enough. The first season debuted way back in 2015. Now, three years later, we will continue this harrowing true crime thriller as the case continues.
Netflix presents the highly-anticipated second chapter of the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning original documentary seriesMaking a Murderer, which followed the unprecedented journey of Steven Avery from DNA exoneree and reformer to convicted murderer.
Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos return to the Midwest where they have exclusive access to Steven Avery and his co-defendant and nephew Brendan Dassey, their families and the legal teams fighting for justice on their behalf. Over the course of 10 new episodes,Making a MurdererPart 2 provides an in-depth look at the high-stakes post-conviction process, exploring the emotional toll the process takes on all involved.
Said executive producers, writers and directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos.
Part 2 introduces viewers to Kathleen Zellner, Avery’s hard-charging post-conviction lawyer, in her fight to prove that Avery was wrongly convicted and win his freedom. Ricciardi and Demos follow Zellner, who has righted more wrongful convictions than any private attorney in America, as she tirelessly works the case and uncovers unexpected evidence about what may have happened to Teresa Halbach and about how and why the jury convicted Steven of her murder.
Ricciardi and Demos also follow Dassey’s post-conviction lawyers, Laura Nirider and Steven Drizin with Northwestern University’s Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth, as they fight in federal court to prove their client’s confession was involuntary, a fight that could take Brendan’s case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Making a MurdererPart 2 is a Synthesis Films Production. Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos serve as executive producers, writers and directors. Today, we have the teaser announcement which announces 10 new episodes will be ready to streaming on October 19 in their entirety.
