Prime Video has officially ordered the second season renewal of one of its hit TV shows that debuted last year. The said documentary series hails from directors and producers Liz Garbus (The Farm: Angola) and Matthew Galkin (Murder in the Bayou).
What Prime Video TV show has been renewed for Season 2?
Per THR, Prime Video’s hit true crime documentary series One Night in Idaho: The College Murders is coming back for a second season, which will consist of three episodes. The next installment will center around the never-before-heard testimonies from the officers and investigators involved in the murder case of University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle, who were stabbed to death in 2022 at their off-campus house. This comes after the suspect, Bryan Kohberger, entered a guilty plea deal in 2025, allowing him to avoid the death penalty.
“Season 2 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,” reads the show’s new synopsis.
“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,”
One Night in Idaho: The College Murders Season 2 is executive-produced by Galkin, Garbus, showrunner Katie A. King, Dan Cogan, Jon Bardin, Joshua Levine, Tommy Coriale, James Patterson, Bill Robinson, and Patrick Santa. It is a production by Amazon MGM Studios, Paramount Television Studios, Story Syndicate, James Patterson Entertainment, and Fairhaven. When the show debuted in 2025, it received a perfect Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes.
