Prime Video Greenlights Season Two of "One Night in Idaho: The College Murders"

The follow-up to the hit 2025 docuseries, from Paramount Television Studios, Story Syndicate, and James Patterson Entertainment, features exclusive never-before-heard testimony from the officers and investigators who apprehended the murderer, as they attempt to answer the question that still lingers: Why did he do it?

CULVER CITY, CA - June 17, 2026 - Today, Prime Video announced Season Two of One Night in Idaho: The College Murders. From director Matthew Galkin (Murder in the Bayou), showrunner Katie A. King, and the Emmy and Oscar-winning teams at Story Syndicate, Paramount Television Studios, and James Patterson Entertainment, One Night in Idaho returns for a new season with unprecedented first-time, exclusive access to the police and lead investigators who bore the weight of a nation's obsession and - until now - were unable to tell their story due to a gag order on the case.

Season Two follows the law enforcement officers who lived the investigation from the inside, who until now were unable to tell their story. With exclusive access to local detectives and first responders, key members of the Moscow Police Department and the Idaho State Police, and intimate archival material - including bodycam footage, police interviews, and forensic evidence - the series unfolds as both a harrowing police procedural and a deeply personal hero's journey for the lead investigators. Viewers are pulled deep into the case through the raw, emotional, first-person perspectives of Lead Detectives Brett Payne and Darren Gilbertson, Police Chief James Fry, and the many men and women who worked alongside them. The season will also check back in with those closest to the case - including friends and family - in the wake of Bryan Kohberger's shocking plea, offering a fuller picture of where things stand today.

Told across three tense episodes, Season Two of One Night in Idaho: The College Murders captures a modern investigation in real time, highlighting the emotional toll on the officers, the technological breakthroughs that cracked the case, and the unwavering resolve that led to a shocking, unequivocal outcome: a conviction without trial.

Season Two is executive produced by Galkin, Liz Garbus, King, Dan Cogan, Jon Bardin, Joshua Levine, Tommy Coriale, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, and Patrick Santa. Galkin also directs, with King serving as showrunner.

Season One, which featured exclusive interviews with the parents of Ethan Chapin and Madison Mogen, was directed by Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated director Garbus (I'll Be Gone in the Dark) and Galkin.

One Night in Idaho: The College Murders is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Paramount Television Studios, Story Syndicate, James Patterson Entertainment, and Fairhaven.
