The original The Jinx investigated Robert Durst, a man suspected of two murders and acquitted of a third, with its shocking conclusion sealing Durst's fate in a chain of events that happened at the same time as its airing.

To make The Jinx — Part Two, the film-makers of the original spent years continuing their investigation of Durst, who passed away in 2022, and they've found plenty of more secrets to reveal.

So here's how to watch The Jinx Part Two, and in case you haven't seen the first docuseries yet (or need a refresher), we'll help you figure out how to see that too.
