Nine years after its original release, The Jinx is back for Part 2. The Robert Durst documentary series returns to HBO on Sunday nights, and we’ve put together everything you need to know about tuning in, including where to watch The Jinx without cable.
Initially released as a miniseries in 2015, The Jinx was an illuminating mix of investigative work and bombshell sit-down interviews with Robert Durst. The series, which uncovered some compelling information, made waves when Durst was arrested by the FBI right before the finale. The new season brings fresh interviews and showcases what has happened since Durst’s 2015 arrest, subsequent conviction, and relatively recent death.
Whether you want to watch new episodes live or catch up on Part 1, we’ve got you covered. Keep reading to learn all the details on The Jinx.

Where to watch The Jinx in the US
The Jinx airs Sunday nights at 10 p.m. ET on HBO. Episodes are released simultaneously on Max, HBO’s streaming counterpart. Max subscriptions start at $9.99 a month for ad-supported plans. This is also where you’ll be able to catch up on past episodes from the first part of the docuseries.
Formerly HBO Max, now just Max, this streaming service is the US home of premium content from HBO and Warner Bros. Since the rebranding, it’s now also the home of Discovery content for reality, food, true crime, and more. Prices start at $10 a month for ad-supported, $16 for ad-free, and $20 if you want to view in 4K.
How to watch The Jinx from anywhere
If you will be traveling outside the US when episodes air, you can keep up with your subscriptions using a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs alter your electronic device’s location so you can access apps and websites that vary in availability from country to country. This suggestion is best for Americans who are simply abroad at the moment since the subscription we’ve outlined requires a US form of payment.
Interested in trying out a VPN? Our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN, an easy-to-use VPN with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for more information and keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.
With its consistent performance, reliable security, and expansive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in every spec and offering many advanced features that makes it exceptional. Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get an extra three months for free today.
How to watch The Jinx with a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don’t already have one.
- Install it on the device you’re planning to watch on.
- Turn it on and set it to a US location.
- Sign up for Max using a US form of payment.
- Navigate to the series page and enjoy.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
