Netflix's Making a Murderer may return for a second season, continuing to focus on the Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey cases.
Should Billy Bob Thornton Play Steven Avery In A 'Making A Murderer' Movie?
Series creators Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos appeared at a Stranger Than Fiction panel in New York last week where they spoke on continuing to document Avery and Dassey's stories.
"From our perspective this story is obviously not over," Ricciardi noted, according to Variety. "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)."

Stephen M. Glynn, Avery's civil lawyer, was also on the panel and stated that if may be difficult for them to go back to Wisconsin after the state was portrayed in a negative light.
"There is a lot of hostility toward these two women (Ricciardi and Demos) in Wisconsin. The theory is that have played Wisconsin unfairly," Glynn said. "But among those people who think and are a little more educated and thoughtful about these sorts of issues, there is appreciation."
Regardless, Ricciardi and Demos are in talks with Kathleen Zellner, Avery's new lawyer, to continue filming. Zellner has been very open on Twitter about new evidence that could prove Avery's innocence.
Making a Murderer is currently available to stream on Netflix.
