No official launch date has been announced, but Netflix executives said viewers will get “access to Avery’s new lawyer Kathleen Zellner and Dassey’s legal team.as well as intimate access to the families and characters close to the case”. Avery was expecting to get paid millions in restitution by the county with a win from the lawsuit, but instead managed to turn attention to himself as a suspect in the murder of Teresa Halbach. The two were convicted, but the show raised questions about the fairness of the trial.
