Serial season 3 marks a significant shift in the podcast's investigative approach. Rather than focusing on a single criminal case, this season turns its lens toward the American criminal justice system itself, exploring how it actually functions in everyday practice through ordinary cases handled in a Cleveland courthouse.
Hosted by Sarah Koenig with Julie Snyder as part of the core team and Emmanuel Dzotsi as producer, the season premiered with two episodes on September 20, followed by weekly releases every Thursday. The show maintains Serial's signature investigative journalism style while broadening its scope to examine systemic patterns and procedures that shape outcomes for countless defendants.
Available free on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Pandora, and other platforms, Serial season 3 offers audiences an intimate look at how the justice system operates behind closed courtroom doors, revealing both the human stories and institutional mechanisms that define American criminal law.
