The original series ended with Durst’s shocking hot mic admission, “Killed them all, of course,” after the filmmakers uncovered evidence of his crimes. Durst was later arrested in a New Orleans hotel lobby. Since then, the team behind “The Jinx” have continued their investigation and found more hidden material, Durst’s prison calls and new interviews.

The son of wealthy New York real estate magnate Seymour Durst, Robert Durst was convicted for the 2000 first degree murder of journalist and screenwriter Susan Berman and was sentenced to life in prison.

Durst died as a prisoner at San Joaquin General Hospital in January 2022 after contracting COVID in the fall of 2020.

“The Jinx” was nominated for six Emmy awards and won two, for outstanding documentary or nonfiction series and outstanding picture editing for nonfiction programming.
