Serial, the wildly successful true crime podcast from Sarah Koenig and the creators of This American Life, is getting a second season. From the official Serial blog:
‘Serial’ is getting a second season
But who will be the mispronounced sponsor?
But who will be the mispronounced sponsor?
This American Life funded the bulk of Season One, but for Serial to continue, it needs to pay for itself. Today, we have good news: between the money you donated and sponsorship, we’ll be able to make a second season.
You can still donate, of course, which will presumably help fund a third season or alternatively hire some big-name actors for the lead roles.
There will be a Season Two of Serial. To everyone who donated to make this possible: THANK YOU. http://t.co/KsnpvITMOx
— Serial (@serial) November 26, 2014 The first season of Serial, which broke the iTunes record for fastest podcast to reach 5 million downloads and streams, chronicles Koenig as she investigates the 1999 death of Hae Min Lee. Her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed, is currently serving a life sentence for her murder.
No word on what’s coming up for season two — “we’ll be working on it as soon as this season ends,” according to the staff — but here’s a suggestion: solve the mystery of “Mail Kimp.”
