The Jinx: Part Two premiered simultaneously on HBO and Max on April 21, 2024, at 10 PM ET. It comprises six episodes and is an extension of the Emmy award-winning docuseries, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.
Directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki, the first installment was released almost a decade ago and ended with the shocking admission of crime by Robert Durst as he spoke the chilling lines, "Killed them all, of course."
In the aftermath of this bewildering admission, Robert Durst was promptly put behind bars right after the finale of the first part, which aired back in 2015. The Jinx: Part Two aims to continue from where the first season left off, resuming the investigation into the origin of Robert Durst's crimes while he was arrested and put on trial.

What crimes did Robert Durst commit?
The Jinx: Part Two continues the tradition of blending reality television with elements of true crime, as championed by its first installment. The docuseries unfolds the narrative of a convicted murderer named Robert Durst.
Born on April 12, 1943, Robert Durst lived up to 78 years before his demise in January 2022. He was the eldest son of New York City real estate mogul, Seymour Durst.
Robert Durst first came under the radar of the police following the sudden disappearance of his wife Kathleen McCormack back in 1982. Thereafter in December 2000, the police once again suspected Durst when his close friend, Susan Berman, was found shot dead in her apartment. He was also the prime suspect in the murder of his Texas neighbor, Mauris Black, in September 2001.
Durst was made to account for his crimes after he unknowingly confessed to the murders while shooting for the first installment of the show. He was arrested and convicted for the murders of his wife and Berman and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The Jinx: Part Two airs Sundays on HBO and Max at 10 PM ET.
