It might seem contradictory that the rise of short video clip popularity coincided with the popularity of long form journalism, but Netflix may be the common factor. The streaming network didn’t invent true crime documentation, but it helped shape the style, and keeps a vast repository of the hottest cold cases.
Real-life crime stories are riveting, whether the watcher is concerned about avoiding such events or solving them. There is something for every taste, from feature-length documentaries to full series. Not all crimes are equal under the laws of public opinion, but these are some of the most dangerously addictive true crime offerings currently available on Netflix.

Netflix won’t have to face a defamation suit brought by a retired police officer who said the docuseries Making a Murderer defamed him by accusing him of planting evidence.
In a ruling granting summary judgment in favor of Netflix on Friday, Judge Brett Ludwig found that the First Amendment “does not guarantee a public figure” like plaintiff Andrew Colborn the “role of protagonist in popular discourse” and “protects the media’s ability to cast him in a much less flattering light.”
Making a Murderer, released in December 2015, tells the story of Steven Avery, who spent 18 years in prison for a rape he didn’t commit before DNA evidence exonerated him. He returned home, only to be arrested, convicted and sentenced to life in prison for another murder. The 10-part docuseries explores Avery’s defense that he was framed by the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office, including Colborn. It contended...

IndieWire turns 25 this year. To mark the occasion, we’re running a series of essays about the future of everything we cover.
Remember when documentaries were deeply honorable but commercially unviable? “Knock Down the House” shattered Sundance records in 2019 when Netflix bought it for $10 million; Apple and A24 broke that record the next year with the $12 million acquisition of “Boys State.” Apple paid a reported $25 million for “Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry,” while studios like Concordia, Participant, Radical, and Xtr pump millions into the non-fiction genre.
Today, everyone loves documentaries. Streamers are hailed as giving the genre a new lease on life. However, the streaming business is not dedicated to speaking truth to power, as documentaries often do; streamers amass subscribers and create shareholder value.
So, what does that mean for the future of documentaries? If the risk-averse, franchise-dominated movie business is any example, we should expect more documentaries about famous people,...

Kathleen Zellner, the attorney for “Making a Murderer” subject Steven Avery, is challenging Sgt. Andrew Colborn to re-create a theory he presented during trial to convict Avery of the murder of Teresa Halbach.
“Sgt. Colborn Challenge: We invite you to our law offices to reenact the bookcase story you told the jury,” Zellner tweeted Thursday. “We have identical key & bookcase. Show us how your trial testimony is true and we will drop claim that it is not. 10 day offer.”
In the first season of “Making a Murderer,” Halbach’s Rav4 car key was found laying near a bookcase in Avery’s home after Colborn moved the bookcase, long after the initial police search took place where no key was found. At trial, Colborn said during the second search, the key must have fallen from the bookcase where Avery had hidden it after he allegedly sexually assaulted and murdered the photographer.

Andrew Colborn was leading a quiet life as a police officer in the Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, Sheriff's Department when his face first flashed across millions of screens around the world. It was December 2015 and the docuseries Making a Murderer had just premiered on Netflix, becoming one of its first genuine unscripted hits.

Former Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Detective Andrew Colborn filed a lawsuit Monday against Netflix and Making a Murderer filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos claiming that the docuseries defamed him.
In the lawsuit filed today in Wisconsin Circuit Court (read it here), Colborn says that the docuseries was edited to make it appear that he and other law enforcement officers planted evidence to frame Steven Avery and his 16-year-old nephew, Brendan Dassey for the 2005 murder of 25-year-old freelance photographer Teresa Halbach.
The suit also goes on to state that “At no time during plaintiff’s employment at [Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office] did [Colborn] serve as a spokesperson for the department. Declining dozens of media requests for interviews, plaintiff has refrained from public comment and has in no other way injected himself into the controversy surrounding the Avery case and the release of [Making a Murderer].

Andrew Colburn, a former police sergeant in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, has sued the filmmakers of “Making a Murderer” as well as Netflix, for defamation over his portrayal in the docuseries.
“Making a Murderer” examines the 2007 convictions of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey for the murder of Teresa Halbach, casting doubts on Avery’s guilt, which hinged on evidence collected at the family’s auto salvage yard in Manitowoc County. Notably, it pursues a theory that law enforcement may have held a grudge and was looking to settle a score with Avery after he was released from prison earlier after a sexual assault charge was disproven by DNA testing.
Colburn’s suit, filed Monday in Manitowoc County circuit court, says that Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, the two filmmakers behind the series, wrongfully accused Colburn of framing Avery and Dassey for Halbach’s murder. Representatives for Ricciardi and Demos did not...

The following contains spoilers for Making a Murderer Season 2.
This article comes from Den of Geek UK.
“I refer to it as a cautionary tale!” laughs Laura Ricciardi, one half of the team (with Moira Demos) who created Netflix sensation Making a Murderer - a project that spanned more than a decade with no guarantee, at the outset, of the show ever being broadcast at all. A cautionary tale that paid off, then.
“We hope our project can be an example for emerging filmmakers, emerging artists in general, and just people in general because we did take a leap of faith but I really believed in Moira.

This past weekend, viewers who flipped on Netflix to watch the much-anticipated sequel to “Making a Murderer” faced a few challenges. So many, in fact, anyone waiting to see what filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos cooked up for “Part 2” were likely to be disappointed no matter what. The hype for Season 2 worked against its story, news reports updating the case’s progress “spoiled” the ending, and, perhaps above all else, the pervasive feeling that none of this would make a difference in overturning Steven Avery’s conviction ruined any righteous anger.
This last point is telling, since it wasn’t a problem for the first season, and it’s hardly a problem for other shows. As discussed on this week’s Very Good TV Podcast (which you can listen to below), “Making a Murderer” Part 2 came out a few weeks after Brett Kavanaugh came to represent all that’s...

Near the end of “Making a Murderer” Season 2, Steven Avery’s father, Allan, walks into his kitchen and has a telling series of reactions to five thick stacks of paper on his table. Initially, he’s horrified at the sight of these updated evidentiary documents, collected over 400 days by his son’s attorney and filed with the court house that morning. The looming tower of reports represents every bit of information that might prove relevant to freeing his imprisoned boy. Along with the rest of his family, Allan has been wrestling with disputed facts and supported theories about Steven’s actions for decades, and for a moment, it looks like the daunting sight of their summation might be too much for him to take.
But then Allan hears his son’s voice on the phone. His spirits pick up, and a gap-toothed smile cracks his face. Suddenly, he’s hopeful,...

It has been nearly three years since the first season of Netflix's mega-hit documentary series, Making a Murderer, turned everyone and their grandmother into a true-crime obsessed sleuth. After becoming a watercooler hit for the streaming giant, the decades-long investigation into Teresa Halbach's slaying and sexual assault took on a new life, reframed around an alleged setup and shady maneuvering done by local officials to bring a case against defendants Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey.

When it landed on Netflix in 2015, the documentary series “Making a Murderer” was a near-instant sensation, with both the internet commentariat and the national media expressing strong views about the case of Steven Avery and his unfortunate nephew, Brendan Dassey, two Wisconsin men convicted of a 2005 murder. The show became, for a while, something bigger than a hit show; it was, at least for some weeks, the nation’s central discussion topic, sitting at a nexus of high-toned entertainment and real-world horror.
Filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi, in the opening moments of their second installment of “Making a Murderer,” show just how familiar they are with the impact of their own work. The season begins with a montage of news and entertainment programs discussing the show and its aftereffects, including petitions pleading that Avery and Dassey be freed.

It took Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos more than a decade to shoot, produce, and edit “Making A Murderer” before it reached the Netflix audience in late 2015. The sequel took just three years to make — but Ricciardi and Demos said they came back with even more material to edit. The difference? Money.
While shooting Part 1, Ricciardi and Demos were struggling filmmakers slowly piecing together the story of accused murderer Steven Avery while holding down day jobs. But then came Netflix, and the “Making A Murderer” phenomenon that became one of the streaming service’s biggest early success stories.
“With Part 2, Netflix was a partner from the outset, and so the project was fully financed from the start,” Ricciardi said. “That meant we were in production and post-production simultaneously the entire time. We were actually shooting longer this time, which I think most people would be surprised to read. We were shooting for two years,...

The makers of Making a Murderer didn't set out to trigger a crime wave. As far as our viewing habits go, that is.

Laura Ricciardi, who directed, produced and wrote the docu-series with Moira Demos, told E! News at the 2016 Webby Awards, held about six months after it became apparent that following the twisted, tragic road that led to Steven Avery being convicted of murder had become a national pastime.

Few were as surprised at the eruption that followed the release of the first season of Netflix’s documentary “Making a Murderer” as the filmmakers, Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi. They had set out to recount a tale of social justice — or injustice, depending on your point of view — as they traced the case of accused killer Steven Avery, who’d been exonerated on a separate, unrelated charge after spending 18 years behind bars. “It’s a window into the American criminal justice system that we haven’t seen before,” Ricciardi tells Variety. “We wanted to know how that happened and what would be happening to him as an accused in the system.”

From the looks of things, “Making a Murderer” Season 2 — or Part 2, in the show’s official parlance — is aware that many people are already familiar with the case at the show’s core. Steven Avery’s conviction, one of the surprise elements of the series’ opening episodes from back in 2015, still ripples through the Wisconsin county of Manitowoc.
After announcing late last month that the show would be returning for a new season of episodes, Netflix unveiled the first look at the documentary series’ tracking of the new developments in the case. Creators and directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos return to Manitowoc, following the efforts of attorney Kathleen Zellner to overturn Avery’s conviction. In addition to Avery, this will also provide updates on the involvement of Avery’s nephew, Brendan Dassey.

“I have one goal — and that is to overturn the conviction of Steven Avery,” says attorney Kathleen Zellner in the new trailer for the second installment of Netflix’s Emmy Award-winning docuseries Making A Murderer.
The second chapter of the series digs deeper into Avery’s case which became a cultural phenomenon when the first Making a Murderer was released at the end of 2015. Part 2 continues to chronicle the unprecedented journey of Steven Avery from DNA exoneree and reformer to convicted murderer with Zellner, who is renowned for overturning wrongful convictions, leading the charge. Filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos return to the Midwest where they have exclusive access to Avery and his co-defendant and nephew Brendan Dassey, their families and the legal teams fighting for justice on their behalf.

1. “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” Season 1 (available October 26)
Why Should I Watch? After The CW found success turning a chaste ’40s comic book character into “hot Archie who fucks,” Netflix is taking your fond family memories of Tgif and twisting them into a horror show akin to “The Exorcist” and “Rosemary’s Baby.” That’s a direct quote from the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” press notes, as Netflix states its “dark, coming-of-age” origin story as “tonally” in line with the scariest movie of all time and a very scary film made by an even more monstrous man (respectively). If this is where “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” came from, perhaps it’s best to remember where she ended up.
Best Reason: Kiernan Shipka is back in a serialized narrative! No, that’s not as catchy as shouting, “Little Sally Draper is back on TV!”, but a) Shipka deserves to be seen outside...

Netflix’s true crime phenomenon Making A Murderer -- which became a tentpole hit for the streamer and even spawned a tongue-in-cheek spoof series -- is set to return for a highly-anticipated second season on Oct. 19.
The first season arrived all the way back in Dec. 2015 amid a true crime renaissance arguably spearheaded by the podcast Serial. In the second batch of 10 episodes, co-directors, executive producers, and writers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos will revisit the case of Steven Avery and his co-defendant and nephew, Brendan Dassey, according to The Hollywood Reporter, with a focus on the post-conviction process and the emotional toll that the case has taken on all parties involved.

It was amazing to see how Making a Murderer just completely blew up when it was released on Netflix. I remember a time when that’s all anyone was talking about! Well, people are going to start talking about it again none-stop again next month because Netflix has announced that Making a Murderer Part 2 will debut on October 19th!
The first installment of the Emmy-winning documentary series followed the journey of Steven Avery, who was convicted of sexual assault and attempted murder in 1985. He ended up being exonerated by DNA evidence after serving 18 years in prison. Then a few years after his release, he and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were convicted for the murder of Teresa Halbach.
It was fascinating to see audiences talk about the story and listen to and read all of the different opinions on the situation.

Long before he became a household name as Steven Avery’s lawyer in the Netflix true crime series Making a Murderer, Jerry Buting was treasurer for “Ass Kickers, Inc.” — a consortium of hard-partying college pals, responsible for some of the wildest parties Indiana University has ever seen.
You’ll find this and other personal revelations early on in Buting’s forthcoming book, Illusion of Justice: Inside Making a Murder and America’s Broken System, which hits bookstores Feb. 28. What you won’t find, however, are any of Buting’s theories on who may have killed Teresa Halbach, the young photographer Avery was convicted of killing.

Over the weekend, the guilds really chimed in with their awards, potentially shaping the Oscar race in a big way. We saw the Ace Eddie, the Producers Guild of America, and the Screen Actors Guild hold their ceremonies, each of which impacted things, to one degree or another. As always, Ace, PGA, and SAG have some of the most direct crossover with Academy members, so what they think does hold water. Are any one of them the be all, end all? No, but they cumulatively represent a lot of what potential Oscar voters are thinking at the moment. So, you must give them credence. The big winner of the weekend was La La Land, though Hidden Figures has now created some interesting new dynamics to the race. That film took advantage of La La Land not being in SAG’s Best Ensemble lineup, beating out Moonlight for the prize. La La Land...

Eyes are always on the Producers Guild Awards, because their choice of top motion picture, the David O. Selznick Award, voted on by members as the best-produced movie of the year, often proceeds to win the Best Picture Oscar. The producers are more likely to laud a movie with ambitious scale and scope. So Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land” (Lionsgate) was favored to win, and sure enough, producers Fred Berger, Jordan Horowitz and Marc Platt accepted the prize.
“La La Land” was introduced by John Legend, who debated coming to the event but made a contribution to the Aclu and echoed many political statements made during the course of the night when he said: “We are the voice, we are the face of America; it is big and free and open to the dreamers of all races and countries and religions.”
