Netflix documentary series ‘Making a Murderer’ filming new episodes

“Making a Murderer” will be making a return to Netflix.

The streaming service announced Tuesday that the filmmakers behind the hit Emmy-nominated docu-series are producing new episodes.

The latest instalments promise to delve back into the stories of Steven Avery and his co-defendant Brendan Dassey as they seek to challenge their convictions in the 2005 death of photographer Teresa Halbach.

Helmed by directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, the new episodes will look into the post-conviction process and emotional toll for all involved.

Avery’s new lawyer Kathleen Zellner and Dassey’s legal team, led by Laura Nirider and Steve Drizin, will be featured in the new episodes. Filmmakers will also offer a closer glimpse at the families and other individuals close to the case.

“Making a Murderer” has generated significant buzz since its release late last year, and recently received six Emmy nominations, including a nod for outstanding documentary or non-fiction series.
