Los Angeles, California (Release): The HBO Original six-part documentary series 'The Jinx -- Part Two', produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Andrew Jarecki (HBO’s 'The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst'), debuts Sunday, April 21 at 10-11pm ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

The 2015 global sensation 'The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst' unraveled one of the most notorious unsolved criminal cases, exposing long-buried information discovered during the filmmaker’s decades-long investigation of real estate billionaire Robert Durst and culminated in a stunning finale.

Just hours before that last episode aired, Durst was arrested for the murder of his longtime friend Susan Berman in Los Angeles. 'The Jinx -- Part Two' meticulously chronicles the continued investigation over the next eight years as Durst awaited and sat trial, uncovering new information and following the prosecutor’s case as it unfolded.
