Almost three years after Making a Murderer became one of Netflix’s most celebrated documentary series, the streaming service is preparing to release a follow-up season.

Making a Murderer Part 2, a 10-episode season that follows Steven Avery and his co-defendant and nephew Brendan Dassey through the post-conviction process, will begin streaming on Oct. 19, Netflix said today.

Avery is serving a life sentence for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach, which occurred two years after he was released from prison, where he had served 18 years for a crime he didn’t commit.

Filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos return for the second season, which follows Avery’s post-conviction lawyer Kathleen Zellner, who works to try and prove that Avery was wrongly convicted and win his freedom.
