[Teaser] Second Chapter of Netflix’s Fascinating “Making a Murderer” Sets October Arrival Date
A couple years back, Netflix had the entire world (certainly the entire internet) talking about Steven Avery with their true crime series “Making a Murderer,” which chronicled the murder of Teresa Halbach, with Avery and his young nephew Brendan Dassey being convicted of the murder. The story continues this October with “Making a Murderer: Part 2.“
Revealed with a teaser today, “Part 2” will premiere on October 19.
The 10 brand new episodes are set to provide an in-depth look at the high-stakes post-conviction process, as well as the emotional toll the process has taken on all involved.
“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.”

“Widow’s Bay” isn’t the only coastal town inundated by the supernatural this summer; Disney+ is gearing up to unleash supernatural comedy-adventure series “The Doomies.”
The animated series will premiere June 26 on Disney+ with 22 half-hour episodes, along with a new short-form series featuring four episodes: “Doug Unfiltered,” “Ghosted By A Ghost,” “Creepy Crepe,” and “What Is That Thing?”
The official synopsis promises all sorts of monster mayhem: “When best friends Bobby and Romy accidentally open a portal to evil, their tranquil coastal town transforms into a hotspot for terrifying creatures of doom. As the ordinary teens navigate this extraordinary mystery, they face off against literal and inner monsters in this epic comedy that combines thrills, chills, and emotional spills.“
The voice cast includes Max Mittelman as Bobby, Madison Calderon as Romy, Noel Gibson as Kim, Jon Bailey as Doug, and Zehra Fazal as Jenny.
“The Doomies” is produced by Academy Award®-nominated studio Xilam Animation for Disney Television Animation and co-created by Andrès Fernandez, Pozla (aka Rémi Zaarour), and Henry Gifford.
Fernandez directs all 22 episodes, and Xilam’s Marc du Pontavice serves as producer.

Coinciding with the series’ debut on Disney+, “The Doomies” was also officially selected to screen in competition at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival in the TV Films category. The episode “Night of the Fishing Dead” was selected from more than 2,400 submissions and will be screened alongside other official selections from June 21-27.
