HBO announces April 21 debut for doc series continuation ‘The Jinx – Part Two,’ drops official teaser [WATCH]

HBO has announced an April 21 premiere date for the original documentary series “The Jinx – Part Two,” a six-episode continuation of the Emmy-winning true-crime doc series “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” from 2015 that caught reclusive real estate icon Robert Durst confessing on tape to murder. It comes, like the first series, from creator-producer-director Andrew Jarecki. He executive produces along with Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier. Watch the new teaser trailer above.

The first six-part series of “The Jinx” – which earned Emmys in 2015 for top documentary/nonfiction series as well as for its editing – is considered one of the most groundbreaking docs of its ilk ever produced. The second series finds the filmmakers continuing their investigation for the subsequent eight years beyond where the original stops, uncovering hidden material, Durst’s prison calls and conducting interviews with people who had never come forward until now. Durst was famously caught on tape saying “Killed them all, of course,” a confession that became an instant tabloid sensation. He was soon arrested.

New episodes of “The Jinx – Part Two” will debut weekly on HBO and simultaneously stream on Max.
