All new episodes of Making a Murderer are now in production by directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, Netflix has announced.

“The new instalments will take fans of the acclaimed 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,” states the streaming giant.

We’re promised an in-depth look at the post-conviction process, and the emotional toll it has on all those involved. The show will feature exclusive access to Avery’s new lawyer Kathleen Zellner and Dassey’s legal team, led by Laura Nirider and Steve Drizin.

“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,” said creators, Ricciardi and Demos.

Neflix has not announced a premiere date for the new episodes, or indeed if they will be classed as a second season.
