The series that opened the floodgates to the recent influx of true crime docuseries on Netflix, “Making a Murderer,” is coming back.

Today, Netflix announced via Twitter that the insanely popular true-crime series, which chronicled the conviction of two men for a crime that they may, or may not, have committed, is coming back October 19, with “Making a Murderer Part 2.” And this time, the focus will be on whether or not Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey can get out of jail, as the prisoners and their families do everything they can to navigate the post-conviction process.

“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.”

However, even though the people at the center of the story haven’t changed, there’s one new face that is going to be the focus of ‘Part 2.’ The new season will focus on Kathleen Zellner, the new hard-charging post-conviction attorney for convicted killer Steven Avery. The directors will follow Zellner as she works tirelessly to uncover new evidence that proves her client couldn’t have committed the murder that he was convicted of. Zellner is a bit of a hotshot herself, having righted more wrongful convictions than any private attorney in America.

Ricciardi and Demos also follow Dassey’s lawyers Laura Nirider and Steven Drizin as they attempt to prove that the infamous confession was involuntary, which could lead the fight all the way to the Supreme Court.

As mentioned, “Making a Murderer Part 2” hits Netflix on October 19.
