The true story behind Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer

Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer is the second season of Crime Scene. It focuses on the murders committed by serial killer, Richard Cottingham.

The new season is divided into three episodes. Netflix has revealed in a statement, which says, “In the second installment coming Dec. 29, Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer will examine how the danger and depravity of New York’s Times Square in the late 1970s and early 1980s made it possible for one man to commit – and nearly get away with – unthinkable acts in a nearly lawless area rife with drugs and sex work. These three episodes will delve into the social and systemic forces that allowed horrific crimes to go unnoticed for too long.”

When will Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer be released?

The second season is already streaming on Netflix. It was released globally on December 29th, 2021, and will be perfect for your long-cozy winter nights.
