Amazon’s Prime Video has renewed One Night in Idaho: The College Murders for a second season.

The three new episodes will deliver “first-time, exclusive access to the police and lead investigators who bore the weight of a nation’s obsession and — until now — were unable to tell their story due to a gag order on the case,” the streamer says.

Everyone pivoted when Bryan Kohberger pled guilty to the gruesome crimes.

One Night in Idaho: The College Murders comes from director Matthew Galkin (Murder in the Bayou) and showrunner Katie A. King; Liz Garbus’ Story Syndicate produces.

Season two “follows the law enforcement officers who lived the investigation from the inside, who until now were unable to tell their story. With exclusive access to local detectives and first responders, key members of the Moscow Police Department and the Idaho State Police, and intimate archival material — including bodycam footage, police interviews, and forensic evidence — the series unfolds as both a harrowing police procedural and a deeply personal hero’s journey for the lead investigators,” the synopsis reads. “Viewers are pulled deep into the case through the raw, emotional, first-person perspectives of Lead Detectives Brett Payne and Darren Gilbertson, Police Chief James Fry, and the many men and women who worked alongside them. The season will also check back in with those closest to the case — including friends and family — in the wake of Bryan Kohberger’s shocking plea, offering a fuller picture of where things stand today,” per the description.

The new episodes are executive produced by Galkin, Garbus, King, Dan Cogan, Jon Bardin, Joshua Levine, Tommy Coriale, James Patterson, Bill Robinson and Patrick Santa. Garbus (I’ll Be Gone in the Dark) directed the first season.

One Night in Idaho: The College Murders is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Paramount Television Studios, Story Syndicate, James Patterson Entertainment and Fairhaven.
