Steven Avery, the subject of Netflix‘s Making a Murderer, has tested positive for coronavirus.

“Steven Avery has tested positive for COVID-19, and is confined to his cell,” said his former criminal defense attorney, Jerome Buting, on Wednesday (June 3) on social media.

He also said his client’s ex-fiancee, Sandy Greenman, said the symptoms were “short-lived” and that he’s in “good spirits.”

Steven is serving a life sentence without parole for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach in Wisconsin, which was revisited in the popular 2015 docu-series examining whether he and his nephew were wrongfully convicted.

“It is true that Steven Avery has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus — he will fully recover. The bigger threat to him is whether the COA [Court of Appeals] will cure the disease that caused him to be wrongfully convicted,” his new lawyer, Kathleen Zellner, wrote.

Making a Murderer Part 2 is officially returning to Netflix next month!

If you don’t know, the original show followed Steven Avery from as he was wrongly jailed for a crime he didn’t commit, to later being convicted of the murder of Teresa Halbach. The show also followed Avery’s nephew and co-defendant Brendan Dassey.

The new show will provide “an in-depth look at the high-stakes postconviction process, exploring the emotional toll the process takes on all involved. ”

“Steven and Brendan, their families and their legal and investigative teams have once again graciously granted us access, giving us a window into the complex web of American criminal justice,” executive producers, writers and directors Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, said. “Building on Part 1, which documented the experience of the accused, in Part 2, we have chronicled the experience of the convicted and imprisoned, two men each serving life sentences for crimes they maintain they did not commit. We are thrilled to be able to share this new phase of the journey with viewers.”

The 10 episode series will launch on October 19. The first season is available to stream now.

New details about the upcoming second season of Making a Murderer have been revealed and it was announced that new episodes of the documentary series should hit Netflix by the end of the year!

A spokesperson for the streaming service says “we have no launch date set as of yet,” but that she expects the new episodes to be released in 2017, according to People.

Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi, the series creators of Making a Murderer, are currently filming the second season.

“Laura and Moira are shooting regularly and working on what the right story is to tell in the next set, so we’re deferring to them on when it will be ready,” Netflix VP Cindy Holland told USA Today. “Very few people inside of Netflix actually know the details of what we’re getting because we’re wanting to keep it really under wraps and it is an ongoing case so we’re trying to be sensitive to that.”

A federal court has blocked the release of Making a Murderer subject Brendan Dassey.

Brendan, now 27, had his conviction thrown out back in September and a judge just ordered his release. However, a new court ruling is saying that the prosecution should have an opportunity to appeal that his confession in the murder of Teresa Halbach was coerced, TMZ reports.

Brendan was 16 at the time of his arrest and conviction and he was convicted alongside his uncle, Steven Avery.

Brendan Dassey, one of the subjects of the Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer, will be getting a release from prison after a judge ruled he should be let out.

His conviction was overturned back in September after it was determined that his confession in the murder of Teresa Halbach was coerced. The judge said he would be released within 90 days if the State decided to not try him again.

Brendan and his uncle Steven Avery were the subjects of the Netflix series, which became a viral sensation.

DO YOU THINK Brendan Dassey should be released from jail?

Steven Avery, the subject of Netflix’s docu-series Making a Murderer, is engaged to Las Vegas legal secretary Lynn Hartman, People reports.

The 54-year-old felon and his girlfriend, 53, have reportedly been dating for eight months via letters and phone calls.

They have only met in person once, however, as Steven is currently behind bars at Wisconsin’s Waupun Correctional Institute for the 2005 murder of Teresa Halbach.

“Steven deserves every bit of happiness that comes his way,” Steven‘s attorney Kathleen Zellner told People. “He is very much in love and happy with Lynn so we are happy for them.”

The two plan to wed upon Steven‘s pending release.
