‘Making a Murderer’ sequel coming
A sequel to the popular Making a Murderer documentary series about a Wisconsin murder case is set to premiere on October 19 on Netflix.
The first Making a Murderer recounted the story of Steven Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, who were convicted in the 2005 slaying of Wisconsin photographer Teresa Halbach. Avery and Dassey are serving life sentences in the killing.
Halbach’s remains were found in the Avery family’s Manitowoc County salvage yard. Avery insists police framed him. Dassey has argued detectives coerced him into confessing that he helped Avery rape and kill Halbach.
The documentary won Avery and Dassey legions of fans and spurred demands for their release.
The 10-episode sequel, Making a Murderer Part 2, will follow their appeals. The premiere date is Dassey’s birthday.
The first multi-part Making a Murderer debuted in 2015.
