With The Jinx: Part Two coming to Max, you might be scratching your brain trying to recall all the relevant details unfurled in the groundbreaking true crime series’ first half. So let’s look back.
How to watch ‘The Jinx: Part Two’
On February 8, 2015, HBO released Andrew Jarecki’s six-part documentary series entitled The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, about the New York real estate scion and his suspected role in the disappearance of his first wife, Kathleen “Kathie” McCormack Durst; the death of his neighbor Morris Black; and the murder of his best friend Susan Berman. The series doggedly detailed all three cases, with the help of Durst. Intrigued by Jarecki’s 2010 film All Good Things, which was inspired by the then-unsolved missing persons case of Kathie, he reached out to the filmmaker, giving unprecedented access to the production team.
In November 2023, less than a year after Durst’s death at age 78, HBO announced that The Jinx: Part Two would premiere on April 21, 2024. With six new episodes, the series continues with Chapter 7 and takes viewers through Durst’s final trial and last days. But if you’ve not got the time — or maybe the wherewithal — to rewatch the first six episodes, here’s everything you need to know about Robert Durst and The Jinx.
