Much to our excitement, the popular podcast Serial will return for two more seasons! Last fall, tons of collegiettes became obsessed with the story of Adnan Syed. He was convicted of murdering his girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, back in 1999 when he was only 17 years old. He’s since been serving a life sentence in prison, but some (including many Serial fans) say that he was wrongly accused. The final episode of the first season left us all wondering, “Did Adnan actually do it?”
However, the second season, which is expected to air this fall, will no longer follow Adnan’s case. Still, Sarah Koenig’s unique storytelling is sure to fascinate us all once more with a brand new case. The show has also been renewed for a third season, which will air next spring and feature yet another case. Both seasons are currently in production, but the producers refuse to dish on the details of these new cases.
For those who just can’t wait until the fall for Serial’s return, producers Sarah Koenig and Julie Snyder are going on tour this summer to answer fans' burning questions. You can find specific tour dates and locations below.
In the meantime, enjoy this spoof of the podcast that Funny or Die made back in the fall.
