Finally, Netflix announced the official return of its much-awaited documentary television series, "Making a Murderer" Season 2. Although the entertainment company didn't reveal its exact release date, it teased that it will be out this 2017.

"Making a Murderer" Season 2 will be featuring the latest attempts to free Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey. In fact, the show has been in the works for quite a while now as Netflix's VP of original content Cindy Holland earlier confirmed that a new chapter will definitely come. She told USA Today that the story is still going, thus fans can still expect the coming of new episodes that will unfold the two's future.

However, Holland revealed that she is not sure when exactly the new episodes of "Making a Murderer" Season 2 will be dropped on Netflix. The web series' writers and directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos are both in Manitowoc filming regularly and working what on the right story they will feature in the next chapter. Hence, it depends on these two showrunners when will the show will officially be ready to air.

Holland also went to explain that there are very few people from Netflix that know the details of "Making a Murderer" Season 2. This is simply because that they want to keep the show's secrecy and the fact that it is an ongoing legal case, they have to be very careful and sensitive. It has been known that it tells the real-life story of Stephen Avery, who has now spent 18 years of his life in prison for a crime he allegedly didn't commit.

As a matter of fact, Stephen Avery was found innocent after a new DNA test revealed that he was not the real culprit, Mirror Online reported. The 54-year-old was convicted together with Brendan Dassey for the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005. The documentary was made to look for the possibilities that the latter was forced to say that his uncle raped and killed the victim and to investigate the lapses in the evidence.
