One of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the year, ‘Making A Murderer’, has been picked up by Netflix for a second season. The first season was a cultural event unlike one I have ever seen. For a solid 6 to 8 weeks, Making A Murderer headlines and theories dominated the internet. I myself must have wrote at least 5 articles about the show. Luckily for all the obsessisive fans like myself, the show has been officially picked up for a second season, and will be picking right back up where season one left off.
According to Variety:
The new installments will take fans of the documentary series back inside the story of convicted murderer Steven Avery, and his co-defendant, Brendan Dassey, as their respective investigative and legal teams challenge their convictions and the State fights to have the convictions and life sentences upheld. This next chapter will provide an in-depth look at the high-stakes post-conviction process, as well as the emotional toll the process takes on all involved.
Executive producers and co-directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos are yet again going to be in charge. While the exact episode count and premiere date for Season 2 have yet to be announced, we expect it to start airing sometime in middle to late 2017, a little more than a year after the first season began.
On the second seasons, the creators Ricciardi and Demos said:
“We are extremely grateful for the tremendous response to, and support of, the series. The viewers’ interest and attention has ensured that the story is not over, and we are fully committed to continuing to document events as they unfold.”
