Five-part documentary series revisits landmark NYPD cases with detectives and prosecutors
Quick Facts
Netflix releases the second season of Homicide: New York on March 25, 2026, continuing its documentary exploration of the city's most significant murder cases. The five-part series features hour-long episodes that place NYPD detectives and prosecutors at the center of investigations that defined their careers.
Produced by Wolf Entertainment and Alfred Street Industries, the series is directed by Adam Kasses and executive produced by Dan Cutforth, Nan Strait, Dan Volpe, and Jane Lipsitz. The documentary format gives viewers rare access to law enforcement professionals as they revisit and reflect on the homicides that shaped their work in one of America's most complex police jurisdictions.
Season 2 encompasses four confirmed episode titles, each focusing on distinct cases that capture different facets of New York crime. "Party Monster" examines an Upper East Side after-party homicide investigation. "Mother Knows Best" delves into a case involving a missing socialite and a mother-son duo. "Soho Horror" covers the death of a fashion designer discovered in a bathtub at a private members club. "Your Eyes or Your Life" chronicles a young mother's murder connected to a Central Park killer case.
The series continues Netflix's investment in true crime programming, building on the success of Season 1, which remains available on the platform. The show's production team brings experience from high-profile crime narratives, with the series created by producers known for their work on Law & Order, one of television's most enduring crime franchises.
Each episode runs approximately one hour, allowing for in-depth examination of case details, investigation timelines, and the personal experiences of those involved in solving these homicides. By centering detectives and prosecutors rather than the crimes themselves, the series offers perspectives often absent from conventional true crime coverage—the professional and emotional toll of pursuing justice in complex, high-profile investigations.
