In 2015, HBO’s Emmy-winning documentary series, “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” took the documentary world by storm, helping popularize the true-crime streaming obsession—additionally fueled by Netflix’s “Making a Murderer” also released the same year— which took off soon after.
The series was a global phenomenon centered on the unsolved crimes that revolved around New York real estate heir Robert Durst. Very famously, Durst admitted to his crimes in the final episode on a hot mic he didn’t know was on, and just hours after it aired, he was arrested for murder.

Now that same award-winning filmmaker, Andrew Jarecki (“Capturing the Friedmans”), is returning with “The Jinx—Part Two,” which debuts Sunday, April 21 at 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. New episodes will debut on subsequent Sundays at the same time.
A new six-episode continuation of the groundbreaking series, the filmmakers continue their investigation for the next eight years, uncovering hidden material, Durst’s prison calls, and interviews with witnesses who had not come forward until now.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The 2015 global sensation “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” unraveled one of the most notorious unsolved criminal cases, exposing long-buried information discovered during the filmmaker’s decades-long investigation of real estate billionaire Robert Durst and culminated in a stunning finale.
Just hours before that last episode aired, Durst was arrested for the murder of his longtime friend Susan Berman in Los Angeles. THE JINX – PART TWO meticulously chronicles the continued investigation over the next eight years as Durst awaited and sat trial, uncovering new information and following the prosecutor’s case as it unfolded. The series brings to light material including interviews with Durst associates who had never before come forward, phone calls Durst made from jail to his friends, family, and lawyers, and video footage from the interrogation room where prosecutors interviewed him after his arrest. The series also features candid interviews with both prosecution and defense lawyers, as well as interviews with jurors and the trial judge.
 With unparalleled access to the key players in the murder trial and with pinpoint precision and clarity, THE JINX –PART TWO continues to excavate the world of a killer who managed to evade justice for over three decades.
To say this story and crime is Jarecki’s own obsession is an understatement. His 2010 crime drama, “All Good Things,” his narrative feature-length debut starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst, tackled the same story. Though it didn’t use the same names, it was clearly based on the same crimes.
“The Jinx—Part Two” debuts Sunday, April 12. Watch the new trailer below.
