Host Sarah Koenig made the announcement this morning:
"Our first season was about a murder case few people had heard about. Season Two is a story a gazillion people have heard about: the story of Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. soldier who walked off his post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was captured and held by the Taliban for nearly five years. It's been in the newspapers and on TV; it's been the subject of congressional investigations (in fact, this very day, the House Armed Services Committee is releasing a report on the Bergdahl trade)—and it's an active case in military court."
The subject of the podcast's first series, Adnan Syed, serving a life sentence for the 1999 murder of his high school girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, has been granted an appeal to introduce new evidence.
