If you’re the kind of person who thinks the truth is always weirder than fiction, Investigation Discovery (ID) has some excellent news for you! The network’s massive hit anthology series, “The Curious Case of…” is officially returning for a second season of stranger-than-fiction stories that will make your jaw hit the floor.
Starting Monday, January 12 at 10/9c, ID is rolling out eight brand-new episodes packed with “how-is-this-real” revelations. Legal expert Beth Karas returns to guide us through these puzzles of obsession, greed, and deception. If you can’t catch it live on ID, don’t worry—episodes will also be available to stream on Max.
Why We’re Obsessed
This franchise took the world by storm with “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace,” becoming a cultural phenomenon that dominated headlines. According to ID President Jason Sarlanis, the series became the network’s top-rated show of 2025. This new season promises to go even deeper into high-stakes mysteries that feel more like movie scripts than real life.
