Next Time, on Serial...One Bad Haircut

Jeff Cohen

As the inaugural season of Serial comes to an end, speculation about the second season heats up. What will the story be about? Will it be another crime mystery?

Sources close [1] to the producers say season two will feature scissors, sisters, tears, and screams.

Listen to a sneak preview of the show's new introduction, which will be reported on by WNPR's Jeff Cohen, who like season one host Sarah Koenig, plays an integral part [2] in the story:

You heard that correctly. Next season, the show will examine the following:

  • Who cut Eva's hair? [3]
  • Why did she do it? [4]
  • What's next for these beloved sisters? [5]

Also, the entire season will be less than three minutes long. Can't wait for it? You don't have to.

1. Did I say close? Sorry, I made this all up.
2. He's their dad.
3. Sadie.
4. Eva's hair was all the way down to her tush.
5. Worldwide popularity and a children's book.
