Andrew Jarecki has never been more anxious about sharing a new project at Sundance.

The veteran documentarian has debuted at the festival his Oscar-nominated “Capturing the Friedmans” (2003), “Just a Clown” (2004), “Catfish” (2010), and Emmy-winning series “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” (2015), which he followed up with a popular sequel.

This week in Park City, Jarecki and his producer-turned-co-director Charlotte Kaufman premiered HBO’s “The Alabama Solution,” a hard-hitting exposé of the brutal Alabama state prison system, a six-year investigative project that deploys video footage taken on the contraband phones of the inmates themselves, as well as interviews by the filmmakers. The movie inspired a long, standing ovation at The Library, and the film’s activist subjects, Melvin Ray and Robert Earl Council, sent a pre-recorded video and participated in a live Q&a by phone from prison.

This movie left my jaw open a few times. I gasped...

The Alabama Solution and The Stringer, which have been added to the Sundance line-up Photo: Courtesy of Sundance Institute The Sundance Film Festival has announced two non-fiction films will be added to the Premieres section of this year's line-up.

Bao Nguyen's The Stringer follows a two-year investigation that uncovers a scandal behind the making of one of the most-recognised photographs of the 20th century.

Andrew Jarecki's The Alabama Solution sees incarcerated men defy the odds to expose a cover-up in one of America’s deadliest prison systems.

Both directors have been at the festival before - Jarecki brought Capturing The Friedmans (2003), Just A Clown (2004), and The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (2015), while Nguyen premiered Be Water (2020) and The Greatest Night in Pop (2024).

The 2025 Sundance slate is getting some more star power with two buzzy documentaries: Andrew Jarecki’s “The Alabama Solution” and Bao Nguyen’s “The Stringer.”

Both nonfiction features are the latest additions to the Premieres category lineup for the annual festival. With the two documentaries included, the festival totals 88 feature films to screen. Out of the lineup, 96 percent of features are world premieres.

“Adding these two nonfiction features to our robust slate of documentary offerings at the Festival, both told by filmmakers who have been a part of our Sundance community for many years, completes our programming with compelling explorations around justice and truth-telling,” Kim Yutani, Sundance Film Festival director of programming, said in a press statement.

The Sundance festival has added Andrew Jarecki and Charlotte Kaufman’s The Alabama Solution and Bao Nguyen’s The Stringer to its documentary feature line-up.

Both films hail from the US and will get their world premieres in the Premieres category of this year’s festival, which runs January 23 to February 2 in Park City and Salt Lake City.

The Alabama Solution, which Jarecki and Kaufman produced and directed, centres on incarcerated men who defy the odds to expose a cover-up in one of America’s deadliest prison systems.

The Stringer, directed by Nguyen and produced by Fiona Turner and Terri Lichstein,...

The Sundance Film Festival has added two documentaries from directors Andrew Jarecki’s and Bao Nguyen to its 2025 documentary lineup.

Jarecki’s docu, titled “The Alabama Solution,” is about, per the film’s press release, “incarcerated men who defy the odds to expose a cover-up in one of America’s deadliest prison systems.”

“The Alabama Solution” is the fourth project that Jarecki has debuted at Sundance. Twenty-two years ago, in 2003, the director’s inaugural film, “Capturing the Friedmans,” had its world premiere in Park City. An investigatory docu that cast light and doubt on a family of alleged child molesters, “Capturing the Friedmans” was a critical hit that went on to garner an Oscar nomination. In 2004, Jarecki’s short film “Just a Clown” premiered at Sundance. That was followed by the 2015 debut of the director’s “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.” The HBO bombshell six-part docuseries,...

Sundance has officially completed its schedule for 2025 with the addition of two new documentaries: Andrew Jarecki's The Alabama Solution and Bao Nguyen's The Stringer. Both will screen in the Premieres category.

Nine years after “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” won the Emmy for Best Documentary Series, its previously unplanned second season is up for the same award. Unlike last time when it stood out as the only crime series in its lineup, it is now joined in that regard by both “Telemarketers” and “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV.”

Unlike most Primetime Emmys, Best Documentary Series is a non-competitive area award that is bestowed upon any nominee that earns the approval of 90% of the members of the TV academy’s documentary peer group. This means that the five programs in the 2024 lineup are not vying for a single trophy and could all potentially prevail. However, if no nominees hit said 90% threshold, only the highest-rated one will win.

In order to determine which of this year’s nominees has the best shot at being approved for victory,...

The fourth annual Truth Seekers Summit, presented by Paramount+ is only days away, live on August 15th from New York City. In celebration of the event, Rolling Stone and Variety are releasing their third annual Truth Seekers special issue for those who value journalism and documentary filmmaking.

The special issue will showcase interviews with some of the most distinguished professionals in the field. CNN foreign correspondent Clarissa Ward, known for her fearless reporting from conflict zones such as Ukraine and Gaza, shares her insights and experiences. Additionally, filmmaker Jamila Wignot...

Exclusive: Blumhouse Television is “betting on itself” after buying back the 45% stake that it sold to ITV in 2017.

Jason Blum’s company struck a deal with ITV Studios, the production arm of the British broadcaster, to launch Blumhouse Television seven years ago.

It has now bought back this stake and is going back to being independent with Blumhouse Television being integrated under its parent company, Blumhouse.

Deadline understands that Blumhouse has paid $60M for the 45% stake. It’s not clear how much ITV paid in 2017 as the figure was never public.

It marks the latest asset that ITV has sold in recent months; the company sold its 50% stake in streamer BritBox International to BBC Studios in February for $322M.

This comes after Blumhouse Television launched hit Netflix docuseries Worst Roommate Ever, which has now turned into a franchise for the streamer with spinoff Worst Ex Ever launching on the streamer...

By the time The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst first debuted in 2015, Robert Durst was arrested on suspicion of the murders of his missing wife and two others — all thanks to filmmaker Andrew Jarecki’s interviews with the wealthy real estate heir that resulted in a surprise confession. The documentary’s sequel, The Jinx: Part Two airs its final episode this Sunday on Max with even more details about the intriguing case.

At the New York premiere, Jarecki told The Hollywood Reporter, “I think [Durst] is kind of a unicorn because he’s so unusual, because he’s such a powerful personality and also reckless and...

[This story contains some spoilers from the premiere of The Jinx — Part Two.]

When speaking recently about the remarkable series of events that led to Robert Durst’s arrest one day before The Jinx aired its season one finale in 2015, the filmmakers behind The Jinx — Part Two, which premiered its six-episode follow-up on Sunday, revealed that director Andrew Jarecki knew from the FBI when Durst went on the run.

“Andrew knew that he was already on the run because there was some talk about some personal danger that Andrew was in,” executive producer Zac Stuart-Pontier told The Hollywood Reporter. “So, he did know that for those four or five days that [Durst] was on the run. But this was not common knowledge.”

Jarecki acknowledged there was confusion about what the public knew at the time, including when the filmmakers submitted evidence for the police investigation into Durst for the 2000 murder of his close friend, Susan Berman. The Jinx — Part Two explained via a title...

Since HBO’s The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst aired in 2015, Durst, who was arrested shortly before the docuseries’ shocking finale, was convicted of murder in 2021 before dying months later.

In that time, true-crime projects have proliferated in the wake of hits like The Jinx and contemporary docuseries Making a Murderer, the podcast Serial and based-on-a-true-story fictional series like The People v. O.J. Simpson and subsequent American Crime Story installments.

Yet despite being part of this early true-crime wave, The Jinx filmmaker Andrew Jarecki says that there were things about Durst that made him even more riveting than an unsolved murder.

“I think Bob is kind of a unicorn because he’s so unusual, because he’s such a powerful personality and also reckless and also willing to be honest about things that most people aren’t honest about, so you feel like you’re seeing inside him,...

New York real estate scion Robert Durst has been at the forefront of Andrew Jarecki’s mind for close to 20 years. In 2005, the director began working on “All Good Things,” a narrative film inspired by Durst and the 1982 disappearance of his first wife. That was followed by Jarecki’s 2015 HBO bombshell six-part docuseries “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst,” which uncovered evidence of Durst’s connection to various murders and concluded with Durst’s shocking hot mic admission, “Killed them all, of course.” Durst was arrested the day before the final episode thanks to the docuseries. The timing of the arrest led to criticism that Jarecki, his producers and HBO had delayed sharing incriminating discoveries with law enforcement officials for the sake of the series and ratings. Jarecki denies this.

Jarecki could have easily said goodbye to Durst nine years ago. The helmer, previously Oscar nominated for “Capturing the Friedmans,...

Get ready for a riveting episode of “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” titled “Chapter 8: Friendships Die Hard,” airing on HBO at 10:02 Pm on Sunday, April 28, 2024. This gripping documentary series delves into the mysterious life of real estate heir Robert Durst and the shocking murders and disappearances connected to him.

In this episode, viewers will be taken deeper into the investigation as the series explores the complex web of relationships surrounding Durst and the tragic consequences that unfold. With interviews, archival footage, and expert analysis, “Friendships Die Hard” sheds light on the chilling events that have gripped the nation and fascinated audiences for years.

One of the highlights of the episode is an exclusive interview with Durst himself, providing viewers with unprecedented access to the suspect at the center of the investigation. As the series unravels the truth behind the crimes, viewers will be on the edge of their seats,...

Nine years after Robert Durst’s shocking hot mic confession in “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” rocked the world (and the true-crime genre), the case continues. HBO is set to premiere “The Jinx: Part Two,” a six-episode continuation to the groundbreaking, Emmy-winning documentary series that will walk viewers through the eight years of investigation that followed its finale as the filmmakers uncover hidden and new material (including Durst’s prison calls) and interview witnesses who had not come forward until now. Produced and directed by Part One’s Andrew Jarecki, “The Jinx: Part Two” will premiere on Sunday, April 21, at 10 p.m. Et on HBO and will be available to stream on Max at that time. You can watch The Jinx: Part Two with a subscription to Max.

Few documentaries have been as genuinely shocking as director Andrew Jarecki’s 2015 true crime documentary series “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.” Using existing media, reenactments and exclusive interview footage of Durst, who had agreed to be interviewed by Jarecki, the six-episode series investigated three unsolved murders in which Durst had been a suspect. It was a captivating spectacle that became a game-changing piece of art when, the day before the series finale aired on HBO, Durst was arrested for first-degree murder after being caught on a recording stating, “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”

Nearly a decade after winning the Emmy for Best Documentary or Nonfiction Series, Jarecki is back with “The Jinx — Part Two.” Premiering Sunday at 10/9c, the HBO series details the events of the next eight years, during which time Durst was tried and convicted of the murder...

Originally debuting back in 2015, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst unexpectedly became a true-crime phenomenon right at the time when the genre was racing up the streaming charts. Following the story of the titular Robert Durst and the three murders that surrounded him, the series dives deep into the existing archive, interviews, and police footage to try and piece together just how guilty the man may be for the deaths of writer Susan Berman in 2000, the 2001 death of his neighbor Morris Black, and the 1982 disappearance of his wife, Kathie. However, the documentary would take an Earth-shattering turn in its final moments when accidentally picked up by a hot mic, Durst would utter the now infamous words, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." These words would act as his most damning confession, with the killer arrested on the same day that the final episode aired.

Director Andrew Jarecki is back with more Robert Durst revelations in The Jinx — Part Two. The sequel docuseries premieres on April 21 on HBO and promises new twists and turns in this already infamous true-crime story. The Jinx — Part Two is a new six-episode continuation of the groundbreaking Emmy-winning documentary series The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst from 2015. The original series featured Durst’s stunning confession on a hot mic. “You’re caught,” he said to himself in a bathroom, seemingly forgetting about his microphone. “Killed them all, of course.” Part 2 will show the aftermath of this revelation. In it, the filmmakers continue their investigation for the next eight years, uncovering hidden material, Durst’s prison calls, and interviews with witnesses who had not come forward until now. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s happened in the years since The Jinx first came out.

The push-pull of the true-crime genre is that, no matter how much it intends to give a voice to the victims, it more often gives notoriety to the accused.

This is certainly the case if the accused is someone like Robert Durst, the bumbling, garrulous, eccentric, and wealthy septuagenarian at the center of Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling, and Zac Stuart-Pontier’s Emmy-winning 2015 docuseries, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. That program famously included Durst seemingly confessing to three murders — the 1982 disappearance and assumed death of his first wife, Kathie Durst, the 2000 shooting of his friend Susan Berman, and the 2001 killing and dismembering of his neighbor Morris Black — because a hot mic caught him muttering to himself “killed them all, of course.”...

"Killed them all, of course." The five words that hauntingly concluded the (at the time) final episode of Andrew Jarecki's 2015 docuseries The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst were the epitome of a bombshell being dropped, as its main subject, real estate heir Robert Durst, unknowingly muttered what sounded startlingly close to a murder confession with a hot mic still pinned to his clothing. Just prior to that audio, Durst had been confronted with what seemed like unimpeachable evidence of his role in the 2000 execution-style killing of his friend, Susan Berman. It had all seemed rather open-and-shut thanks to the envelope of a letter written by Durst, which Jarecki and The Jinx producers had been given by Berman's stepson — and further analysis revealed an all-but indistinguishable match to the infamous "cadaver note" anonymously sent to Beverly Hills Pd, with the word Beverly misspelled the same way in both cases.

Get ready for the highly anticipated return of “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” on HBO! Season 2 kicks off with Episode 1 titled “Chapter 7: Why Are You Still Here?” airing at 10:02 Pm on Sunday, April 21, 2024.

In this gripping installment, viewers will delve deeper into the investigation surrounding real estate heir Robert Durst and the unsettling series of murders and disappearances connected to him and those close to him. The episode promises to uncover new revelations and shocking insights into the enigmatic figure at the center of it all.

One of the most compelling aspects of this season is the exclusive interview with the suspect himself, offering viewers a rare glimpse into Durst’s psyche and perspective on the events that have transpired. With its blend of investigative journalism and true crime storytelling, “The Jinx” continues to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and gripping revelations.

Don...

The confession heard around the world occurred almost 10 years ago and now viewers are finally getting the anticipated follow-up. The new trailer for The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst teases the aftermath of the first season. Since the 1982 disappearance of his first wife, real estate heir Robert Durst has been the subject of much suspicion. Kathleen McCormack vanished without a trace on January 31, via NPR, which was just the start of Durst's suspicious behavior.

In 2015, HBO’s Emmy-winning documentary series, “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” took the documentary world by storm, helping popularize the true-crime streaming obsession—additionally fueled by Netflix’s “Making a Murderer” also released the same year— which took off soon after.

The series was a global phenomenon centered on the unsolved crimes that revolved around New York real estate heir Robert Durst.

HBO has revealed the official trailer for a true crime documentary series "sequel" titled simply The Jinx - Part Two (we posted the teaser a few weeks ago). This "Part Two" is a 6-episode continuation of the groundbreaking Emmy-winning series "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst" from 2015, directed by Andrew Jarecki. Even though Durst ended up being found guilty and went to prison, there's still more to uncover about him. He actually ended up dying in prison in 2022 though that hasn't stopped any of the interest in his crimes.

The Jinx – Part Two is a new six-episode continuation of the groundbreaking Emmy®-winning documentary series The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, from Andrew Jarecki, which debuted on HBO in 2015. In Part Two, the filmmakers continue their investigation for the next eight years, uncovering hidden material, Durst‘s prison calls, and interviews with witnesses who had not come forward until now.

Head inside to watch…

The episodes will kick off on Sunday (April 21). New episodes will debut weekly on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

Robert Durst died while incarcerated in January of 2022. He passed away at the San Joaquin General Hospital and had been after contracting Covid-19 in 2020.

He was sentenced to life...

It was one of the most jaw-dropping moments ever captured in a docuseries. In the finale of The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, its titular subject unwittingly blurted out what was tantamount to a confession, caught on his hot lapel mic. But long before that bombshell, director Andrew Jarecki was just as curious as the rest of us about the dark truth behind real estate heir Robert Durst when he directed a 2010 film loosely based on his life called All Good Things, which starred Ryan Gosling in the leading role.

It's a new month, and HBO and Max will be showering their subscribers with gifts all April long! This month, the Wbd properties will welcome the arrival of unscripted projects like the premiere of Conan O’Brien’s new travel comedy series “Conan O’Brien Must Go” and the fourth season of the Emmy Award-winning drag-centric “We're Here.” Plus, Park Chan-wook and A24’s “The Sympathizer” limited series and the highly anticipated continuation of “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” will all be available to stream throughout the month.

Back in 2015, HBO aired Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling, and Zac Stuart-Pontier’s six episode true crime docu-series The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, which focused on real estate heir Robert Durst and investigated “the unsolved 1982 disappearance of Durst’s wife, Kathie McCormack, the 2000 execution-style killing of his longtime friend Susan Berman, and the 2001 death and dismemberment of his neighbor Morris Black”, in Galveston, Texas.” During the making of that docu-series, Durst was caught on tape saying “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.” While he had been acquitted of murdering Black in 2003, Durst was arrested the day before the series finale aired and charged with first degree murder in the death of Berman. While the case went to trial, the documentarians kept digging into the Durst story, gathering material for the follow-up series The Jinx: Part Two. The new trailer for the second part has just dropped.

Almost 10 years ago, HBO dropped one of its best documentaries to date — The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. Directed by Andrew Jarecki (Capturing the Friedmans), the docuseries delved into the life of the titular New York real estate heir who had a string of odd disappearances surrounding him and even a murder acquittal under his belt. In the final episode, a hot mic moment would change the course of the cases against Durst and also how true crime docs have been put together since. Nine years later, we finally have the next chapter in the story of the now-deceased Durst, as HBO has dropped the official teaser for The Jinx — Part Two.

His confession was only the beginning…

Robert Durst’s prison sentence is captured in the highly-anticipated “The Jinx – Part Two,” airing almost a decade after Durst infamously said on camera that he “killed them all, of course” in original Emmy-winning 2015 series “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.”

“Part Two” is a six-episode continuation hailing from Andrew Jarecki. Per HBO, the filmmakers continued their investigation for the next eight years, uncovering hidden material, Durst’s prison calls, and interviews with witnesses who had not come forward until now for the second installment.

Durst was arrested in a hotel lobby in New Orleans following evidence uncovered by the filmmakers from the docuseries which was decades in the making. The show went on to be nominated for six Emmys, winning Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series and Outstanding Picture Editing for Nonfiction Programming.

Durst, who hailed from a billionaire real estate family,...

The Jinx is back!

The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst was a groundbreaking true-crime limited series that had a significant impact on the genre and television as a whole.

Durst's story captivated the nation from the start, but when he muttered the words, "Killed them all, of course," it upended the future of true crime.

Robert Durst was convicted as a result of the groundbreaking docuseries, but he died before being tried for another connected case that, as a result, remains unsolved.

The Jinx raised the bar in terms of production quality for true crime series with its cinematic storytelling, high-quality editing, and dramatic reenactments that kept viewers on the edge of their seats.

Its narrative complexity wove together different timelines with interviews and evidence in a non-linear fashion, which created an immersive effect.

More importantly, Durst himself was the focal point of the docuseries.

The Jinx — Part Two, which is coming April 21 and nearly a decade after the first installment, is a six-episode continuation of Andrew Jarecki’s Emmy-winning docuseries, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, that made Durst a household name and kicked off the ongoing wave of true-crime docuseries.

The New York real estate heir was arrested on first-degree murder charges for the death of his best friend, Susan Berman — less than 24 hours before the Jinx finale aired in an episode that shocked the country when Durst, who was unknowingly still mic’d, is heard saying, “What did I do? Killed them all, of course.”

After an ensuing trial, Durst was convicted for the first-degree murder of Berman in September 2021, and later sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
