HBO has announced the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed 2015 docuseries, The Jinx, which led to the arrest and murder conviction of New York real estate scion Robert Durst. The six-episode sequel is set to air in 2024 and will delve deeper into Durst's arrest, trial, and subsequent death behind bars in 2022.

The original series gained worldwide attention for its explosive finale, which featured Durst mumbling to himself in a bathroom while still wearing a hot mic, saying, "You're caught. What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." While it was later revealed that the quotes were manipulated for dramatic effect, they sparked a renewed investigation and resulted in new evidence being uncovered.

The sequel, set to be released next year, will include "hidden material" from an additional eight years of investigation, shedding more light on Durst's criminal activities. It will also feature recordings of Durst's prison phone calls, giving viewers an unprecedented look into his mindset and conversations during his time behind bars.

Furthermore, HBO promises interviews with individuals who have never before come forward, providing fresh perspectives and insights into the chilling case. The sequel aims to provide a comprehensive narrative surrounding Durst's arrest and trial in the murder of his best friend, Susan Berman.

In March 2015, just hours before the finale episode of The Jinx aired, Durst was shockingly arrested by the FBI at a New Orleans hotel. He had registered under the false name "Everette Ward" in an attempt to evade capture. Durst was subsequently charged with the murder of Susan Berman, who had staunchly defended him following the disappearance of his wife, Kathleen McCormack Durst, in 1982.

Durst's arrest and subsequent conviction for Berman's murder led to further investigations into the disappearance of his wife. In 2021, a Westchester County grand jury charged Durst with the murder of Kathleen, further deepening the mystery surrounding her case.

Robert Durst, born into a prominent New York real estate dynasty, experienced a turbulent upbringing marked by tragedy. He witnessed his mother's death by suicide when he was a child and had a tumultuous relationship with his brother, Douglas.

The Durst family's real estate empire, valued at $8 billion, includes iconic skyscrapers that dominate Manhattan's skyline. However, Robert Durst's erratic behavior led to his expulsion from the family business in 1994. His life took a dark turn, culminating in a killing spree that claimed the lives of Susan Berman and his elderly neighbor, Morris Black.

The Jinx shed light on Durst's disturbing actions, with the sequel poised to explore even more of the truth behind his crimes. With the inclusion of prison phone calls and previously unrevealed investigation material, viewers can expect a captivating and chilling continuation of the story that has captivated audiences around the world.

As the release of the sequel approaches, anticipation grows for the revelations that will unfold, offering new perspectives on one of America's most bizarre and enigmatic killers, Robert Durst.
