"Making A Murderer" Season 2 is now underway, but definite details about the release of the critically-acclaimed Netflix docuseries have remained sealed. Spoilers revealed that Season 2 will feature more evidences, including a possible involvement of a Swedish scientist that would prove that the evidences against Steven Avery were planted.
In October 2016, a new hope to free Avery emerged after a Swedish scientist named Kirsty Spalding contacted Avery's lawyer Kathleen Zellner. Spalding, who is working at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, thought of the idea of using carbon dating technique that could possibly solve the case. She is still waiting for the court's decision, but this development may be seen when "Making A Murderer" Season 2 returns.
"I don't really have an opinion of whether Steven Avery is innocent or guilty," Spalding told Radio Sweden, as cited by Post Crescent. "I have more of an opinion of whether I think there's been planted evidence or not and ultimately that's all this analysis will tell us is whether or not this evidence is planted."
Previous reports have indicated that Zellner and Spalding have been in contact since then. If Spalding would be permitted to use the scientific technique by the court, authorities would know whether the blood stains found in Teresa Halbach's car were planted or not in 2005. These pieces of new developments are something that viewers should watch out in "Making A Murderer" Season 2.
Meanwhile, "Making A Murderer" just received a Cinema Eye Honors award this week for nonfiction filmmaking for television. In September 2016, filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos received four Emmy awards, including best documentary or nonfiction series, best writing and best directing for nonfiction program, and best picture editing for nonfiction program.
In an interview with Deadline, Ricciardi and Demos promised to document all the developments in the case of Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey. Dassey's recent appeal was overturned in court. The filmmakers confirmed that it is something that viewers would see in "Making A Murderer" Season 2, incluidng a mock trial in the courtroom.
Zellner has not provided any update yet on Spalding's request to work on the case. Watch the video below about "Making a Murderer" Season 2:
