Homicide returns to Netflix on March 25, 2026 with a second season devoted to New York’s major criminal cases. Produced by Wolf Entertainment and Alfred Street Industries, the documentary series continues the tradition of programs focused on real police investigations. Directed by Adam Kassen and produced by Dan Cutforth, Jane Lipsitz, Nan Strait, Dan Volpe, and Dick Wolf, this new season offers five episodes centered on investigations that have left a mark on the recent history of the New York Police Department.
Each episode revisits a homicide that left a lasting imprint on the detectives who handled it. Members of the NYPD's elite homicide unit recount the circumstances of the investigation, the early leads, and the obstacles they faced as the case unfolded. Through their testimony, the series traces the key milestones of complex criminal cases that kept the homicide squad busy for months.
The program adopts a narrative approach built around the memories of the detectives and investigators involved in these cases. Archives, investigative footage and reconstructions supplement these narratives to show how some cases have left an enduring mark on the investigators' careers and, at times, on the city’s criminal history. The episodes thus highlight the daily work of the specialized units tasked with solving the most serious crimes.
The official trailer will be posted as soon as Netflix releases it.
The series sits squarely in the television true‑crime tradition, a documentary genre that revisits criminal cases through the eyes of the investigators who worked the cases. Focusing on New York City, Homicide offers a look at how investigative services operate in one of the world's most densely populated metropolises.
Produced by Dick Wolf, a heavyweight in American police dramas, the series adopts a tone reminiscent of contemporary investigative documentaries. Each episode unfolds a narrative built around the investigators’ testimonies, offering a direct view of how they work, the strategic choices they make, and the pivotal moments that crack these cases.
