THE JINX: THE LIFE AND DEATHS OF ROBERT DURST
Available On Demand and TMN GO
Marathon begins Saturday, March 21 at 9 p.m. ET/MT on HBO Canada
This six-part true crime documentary series from HBO tells the story of some of the most notorious unsolved murder mysteries in New York’s history, and pulls back the covers on the life of reclusive Robert Durst, the man at the very center of these crimes with his never before heard perspective and point of view. Brilliant, reclusive, and the subject of relentless
media scrutiny, Durst has never spoken publicly, until now. During exclusive interviews with Jarecki, Durst candidly reveals secrets of a case that has baffled authorities for 30 years. Long suspected in three crimes – the 1982 disappearance of his young wife in New York, the 2000 murder of the key witness in Beverly Hills, and the subsequent murder and dismemberment of a neighbour in Galveston, Texas – Durst has consistently maintained his innocence. Jarecki develops a relationship with Durst, unearthing thousands of pages of hidden documents, police files, key witnesses, never-before-seen footage, and private prison recordings.
Directed by Andrew Jarecki, produced by Marc Smerling and Andrew Jarecki (
Capturing the Friedmans), co-produced and edited by Zac Stuart-Pontier (
Catfish), and executive produced by Jason Blum of Blumhouse (HBO’s THE NORMAL HEART).

The original script was developed by Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling, and Marcus Hinchey and written by Hinchey and Smerling.
