Making A Murderer looks set to have a follow-up with the same filmmakers involved

As interesting as the Netflix series is, there's one thing about Making A Murderer that shouldn't be forgotten amidst all the twists, theories and online conspiracy theories:  Teresa Halbach was murdered and Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey were charged with this crime. These are real people and this fact can often be forgotten in the rush to gather new information on this story.

There's still a massive interest in the case and it seems that Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos have already started work on their effort to provide even more information regarding this infamous story. Speaking at a recent panel discussion in New York, the duo revealed that they have been talking to Avery's new lawyer, Kathleen Zellner, and they had this to say on a follow-up to the incredibly popular series. "From our perspective this story is obviously not over,” Ricciardi said. “It’s real life and (Avery’s and Brendan Dassey’s) cases are both still pending. We have no idea when the magistrate will make a decision in Brendan’s case. We do know that two potential outcomes are that the judge could order Brendan’s release or he could order a new trial. So we are on the edge of seats about that. To the extent that there are significant developments, we would like to continue documenting this (case). It goes without saying that one group of people have a huge objection to the filmmakers continuing their work on the case, the authorities in Manitowoc. Steven Avery's civil lawyer, Stephen M. Glynn, was also present at the panel and he had this to say on how the filmmakers are currently perceived in Manitowoc. “There is a lot of hostility toward these two women (Ricciardi and Demos) in Wisconsin. The theory is that have played Wisconsin unfairly. But among those people who think and are a little more educated and thoughtful about these sorts of issues, there is appreciation.” Here's hoping that the duo will be allowed to continue their work on this fascinating case.
