The online streaming service Netflix on Tuesday will release of new episodes of the extremely popular, but controversial documentary series Making a Murder.
Netflix just put out a press release that announced filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos are now in production on new episodes of the series. The new episodes will focus on the post-conviction remedies available for both Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey.
“The episodes will offer exclusive access to Avery’s new lawyer Kathleen Zellner and Dassey’s legal team, led by Laura Nirider and Steve Drizin, as well as intimate access to the families and characters close to the case,” the press release states.

A statement from the filmmakers was also included in the press release:
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.
