The upcoming season of the true-crime docuseries will feature eight new episodes, offering “an expansive look into society’s most evil minds, revealing unprecedented insight into their twisted crimes through rare in-depth interviews and remarkable archival footage”.

Donnie shared his eagerness for fans to see the new episodes in a statement. “I cannot wait to dig in and start filming this next season of Very Scary People,” he said. “These stories will leave true crime fans stunned as we unravel the depraved crimes and minds of frightening killers we haven’t considered before.”
