CrimeCon 2023: Kelly Siegler Teases Cold Justice Season 7
Kelly Siegler and the Cold Justice team are hard at work on another season of the beloved true crime series. While a premiere date has yet to be scheduled, Siegler estimates that the new season will debut on Oxygen in 2024. In the meantime, Siegler and executive producer Andrew Nock are preparing for the release of Oxygen’s Prosecuting Evil with Kelly Siegler, which will explore cases from Siegler’s career as a prosecutor in Texas. Despite the challenges of filming trials and getting updates in the criminal justice system, Siegler remains hopeful that they will be able to showcase a trial in which Cold Justice assisted law enforcement in the future.
Filming Trials and Seeking Updates
One of the difficulties faced by the Cold Justice team is obtaining permission from judges to film a trial process. While they always ask the judge for permission, filming may be prohibited for various reasons, including the need to ensure a fair trial and protect the privacy of those involved. Despite these challenges, Siegler and the team are still working on getting permission to film a trial and share that part of the process with viewers. Additionally, updates in the criminal justice system can take a long time, as many cases resulting in arrest have not yet gone to trial. However, the Cold Justice team continues to check in with local law enforcement for cases that don’t result in an arrest.
Prosecuting Evil with Kelly Siegler
Oxygen’s Prosecuting Evil with Kelly Siegler will provide viewers with a glimpse into Siegler’s career as a prosecutor in Texas. The show will chronicle the steps that have to be taken before and after a trial, and feature interviews with those involved in the cases, including family members of the victim, prosecutors, and investigators. This new series will complement Cold Justice by showcasing the trial part, which has not been explored in the original series before. Siegler and executive producer Andrew Nock are excited to share these stories and shed light on the work that goes into prosecuting evil.
