‘In The Dark’: APM Reports is Out With Season 2 of Their Award-Winning True-Crime Podcast

Of all the true-crime podcasts I listened to in 2017, and it was more than I care to admit, the Top 3 were S-Town and Season 1 of Accused and In The Dark. They were so good that whenever a new series comes out now, it’s worth a listen in hopes it can match their quality. Unfortunately, though, compelling storytelling is difficult. So when In The Dark revealed there was a second season on the way, true-crime aficionados everywhere began to wait patiently.

On April 15th, the trailer for Season 2 came out. It revealed an intriguing investigation into a quadruple-murder in Mississippi. Then, on April 30th, the first two episodes dropped and it was clear that their sophomore effort lived up to the success of the Jacob Wetterling story from Season 1.

Here is the complete synopsis, per the official In The Dark website:

Curtis Flowers has been tried six times for the same crime. For 21 years, Flowers has maintained his innocence. He’s won appeal after appeal, but every time, the prosecutor just tries the case again. What does the evidence reveal? And how can the justice system ignore the prosecutor’s record and keep Flowers on death row?

If the new season’s schedule follows the pattern of the Peabody-winning first season, there should be a new episode released every week. Like their Season 2 rollout, Season 1 dropped the first two episodes off the bat and one every seven days over the next seven weeks.

You can listen to the first episode of the second season — “July 16th, 1996” — below:

In The Dark currently holds a 4.5-star rating on iTunes.
