True crime series The Curious Case of...returns to ID with more bizarre stories

The Curious Case of…is returning to ID with eight new episodes, all dealing with those twisty-turny, puzzling cases all true crime junkies love to dive into. Beth Karas, a legal analyst and expert in the realm hosts the series, and ID promises that this season of The Curious Cas of… “will venture even deeper into inconceivably shocking true crime stories that are filled with deception, obsession, and the unbelievable.

The series began as a one-off titled The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, but fans were enthralled, and there continued to be additional jaw-dropping events that followed Natalia. So, ID moved forward with two new seasons.

Inspired by the success of the docu-series, ID moved forward with an all-new series that focused on other crazy, stranger-than-fiction true crime cases, and that’s where The Curious Case of… began. This will be the second season of that series.

When will The Curious Case of… premiere?

The new season will debut on Monday, January 12 at 10:00 pm ET on ID. New episodes will air weekly after that, and all episodes will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
