"Making a Murderer" is now on its 4th week and fans are wondering as to whether the series would move forward with a 2nd season or not. As of the latest update, both the Laura Riccadi and Moria Demos dished out details in regards to progress of the upcoming season as per Independent's report.
During the Television Critics Association press tour, Laura Riccadi, one of the series creators, explained their team's progress with working on the 2nd season of the docu series.
Riccadi told the reporters, "I think today marks four weeks since the series launched and what we've managed to do in the past four weeks is have several phone calls with Steven Avery which we have recorded with an eye toward including them in future episodes."
She then added they would need to have enough materials for the second season to push through, "As we said before, in relation to this story, this story is ongoing, these cases are open; It's real-life so you don't know what's going to happen. We are ready... if there are significant developments, we will be there. And we are looking at other stories, as well."
As for Ted Serandos, Netflix's chief content editor, he stated, "the story is still unfolding, so we'll certainly take a look at it".
Steven Avery's innocence is still in question as several pieces of evidence was omitted from the series causing an ongoing debate. During their interview with The Wrap, Moria Demos explained the rationale behind the controversial evidences that were not featured on the film. Both the film makers Moria Demos and Laura Riccadi has been defending the docu series from critics who would slam them for being biased in pointing out Steven Avery's innocence.
Demos told The Wrap, "We tried to choose what we thought was Kratz's strongest evidence pointing toward Steven's guilt, the things he talked about at his press conferences, the things that were really damning toward Steven."
As of the latest update in regards to the ongoing trial, Avery's nephew, Brendan Dassey, who was also convicted of first degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse and second-degree sexual assault is said to be in a sticky situation as Capital Times mentioned that his situation may be more complicated that Avery's. It is being pointed out that Dassey is also a victim of the failed justice system.
Steven Avery's defines attorney, Dean Strang, told Capital Times, "Steven's case, almost any case, reveals some systemic weaknesses or things we should try to improve, not just in one case but across the workings of the justice system. For me at least, those flaws were revealed in sharper relief and more vividly in Brendan's case."
