The directors of Making a Murderer, the hit Netflix show, says that subject Steven Avery has not been allowed to watch the series.

Avery, currently in prison after being convicted of murdering photographer Teresa Halbach, made a request to jail officials to watch the show but the request was denied. 

Directors Moira Demos and Laura Riccardi, speaking at a Television Critics Association panel in Pasadena over the weekend, also revealed that they’re considering a season 2.

Both directors have talked with Avery several times in the past month, and said they would include some of the conversations in another season if it gets made, reported Decider.

“This story is ongoing. These cases are open. We are ready to follow these if there are significant developments,” said Demos at one point.

She also said that she and Riccardi don’t consider the series advocacy journalism, instead calling it “a social justice documentary.”
