UK/US TV production company Znak&Co has announced the second season of hit true crime series I Am A Killer for A+E Networks UK’s Crime+Investigation channel , with a second window to follow on Netflix.

The 10 x 60’ series looks at Death Row prisoners and the impact of their crimes on their communities and families. The second season now features female lifers as well as Death Row inmates and explores themes of repentance and redemption. Featuring in-depth interviews with some of the longest serving prisoners in America, Season 1 premiered on Crime+Investigation in October 2018, and became one of the brand’s top-rated series, opening the debate over rehabilitation and restitution in America’s criminal justice system.

Executive producers include Danny Tipping, Ned Parker and Natalka Znak for Znak & Co. and Crime+Investigation commissioning editor and executive producer Diana Carter.

I Am A Killer Season 2 joins Crime+Investigation’s new season line-up, which includes UK commissions as well as the return of US hits, First 48, and Buried In The Backyard. Commenting on the renewal, Carter, said: “I Am A Killer plays a key part in our programming strategy; sitting alongside other locally produced hits like Murdertown with Katherine Kelly and the forthcoming Evil Up Close. Our audience of passionate true crime fans appreciated the thoughtful and carefully crafted approach of the filmmakers to such controversial subject matter. We are proud to bring it back for a second season.”

Natalka Znak, executive producer for Znak & Co. added: “Amazing access and incredibly gripping stories have made this format a global fan favourite and we can feel that fervour. Under Danny’s factual department, we are expanding our true crime programming and prioritising the genre with an entire team of crime experts.”
