MAKING A MURDERER Part 2 to Air on Netflix in October

The Netflix documentary series MAKING A MURDERER was an instant hit for the streaming service and prompted further attention on the cases of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey. Today Netflix announced that the second chapter of this series will launch globally on October 19. Filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos return to Avery’s hometown over the course of 10 new episodes to examine the post-conviction process. We’ll also be introduced to Kathleen Zellner, Avery’s post-conviction lawyer.

“Steven and Brendan, their families and their legal and investigative teams have once again graciously granted us access, giving us a window into the complex web of American criminal justice,” said executive producers, writers and directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos. “Building on Part 1, which documented the experience of the accused, in Part 2, we have chronicled the experience of the convicted and imprisoned, two men each serving life sentences for crimes they maintain they did not commit. We are thrilled to be able to share this new phase of the journey with viewers.”
