Killer real estate heir Robert Durst, 78, is seen WAVING in prison and boasting of his 'gargantuan' 15 minutes of fame in sequel to 'The Jinx'

HBO released the official trailer for 'The Jinx Part Two,' a sequel to their Emmy-winning docuseries that chronicled the life and crimes of Robert Durst. 

The new trailer showed Durst, 78, relishing his reputation as a convicted murdered and featured a clip of him brazenly waving from prison.

'The Jinx' debuted in 2015 and led to the arrest and murder conviction of the New York real-estate scion.

The six-episode 'continuation' will air this month, and the first episode will be available on April 21.

The series will follow Durst's arrest and trial for the murder of his best friend, Susan Berman, as well as his death behind bars at the age of 78 in January 2022 - just four months into a life sentence.

In the trailer, Durst seemed to be enjoying his notoriety,  bragging about his fame. 'I am getting my own 15 minutes,' Durst boasted of all the attention. 'It is gargantuan,' he added. Pictured; an elderly Durst attending his trial

The trailer featured many blood-curdling moments, one of them being a clip of Durst waving in prison. In the clip, he was wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, and he squatted down awkwardly before waving with both hands.

Toward the end of the trailer, a recording of Durst's voice seemed to capture the disgraced real-estate magnate boasting about his notoriety and fame.

'I am getting my own 15 minutes,' Durst said without evident shame. 

'And it is gargantuan,' he added.

The trailer included dramatic re-enactments of events surrounding Durst's arrest. Charles Bagli, a reporter with the New York Times, said he spoke with Durst after every episode of the original series aired.

In the trailer, the reporter said that Durst had been 'very nervous'. 

'I thought to myself,' Bagli said; 'he's gonna run'.

LA Deputy DA John Lewin echoed this sentiment, telling the camera: 'Bob was gonna flee the country, never to return'.

'And of course that didn't happen,' he added.

The trailer teased some of the recordings the filmmakers acquired of Durst's calls from prison. 

One of the recordings was from shortly after Durst was arrested. In the audio, he said: 'Steve, I was arrested'.

To which, 'Steve' tersely replied: 'oh boy'.

'Yep,' Durst said.

HBO will soon release a sequel to The Jinx, the heralded 2015 docuseries that led to the arrest and murder conviction of New York real estate scion Robert Durst. Durst is pictured here in December 2016 and died in prison in January 2022

Durst was convicted for the December 2000 murder of Susan Berman (with him above) who had fiercely defended Durst after his wife Kathleen McCormack Durst disappeared in 1982

In another interaction, Durst told a woman that she should 'expect a call from the DA'.

'You don't tell them s***,' Durst said and could be seen holding a prison phone tightly to his ear.

Deputy DA John Lewin then provided narration for the trailer, saying provocatively: 'Turns out when you have a whole lot of money, people are willing to do things for ya'.

As Lewin spoke, the trailer showed footage of cash being printed and a picture of several checks signed by Durst.

'Because,' Lewin continued, 'they think some of that money might go their way'.

The trailer then showed footage of different Durst confidantes on the phone with him. One of the women smiled as Durst waved to her.

'Everybody's gonna work together to get me out of here,' Durst said in a raspy voice.

The trailer then showed Nick Chavin, who was a friend of Durst and a friend of  Durst's victim, Susan Berman. 

The trailer showed a picture of the three of them together.

'What do you do when your best friend kills your other best friend?' Chavin asked the camera.

At the end of the trailer, footage from the courtroom showed a frail-looking Durst. He was wheelchair-bound and spoke from behind a plastic mask. 

At one point, Durst warned a confidant that the DA would want to speak with her. He instructed her not to 'tell them s***'

In an explosive moment, Durst appeared to address someone in the court, saying: 'I lied to you you'.

Then the trailer showed another clip of Durst waving to someone, his hand wrinkled and his fingers wriggling.

The trailer ended with an image of Durst from after he was arrested. He was grinning in the back of a vehicle, wearing an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs.  

HBO says part two will include 'hidden material' from an additional eight years of their investigation, as well as Durst’s prison calls, and interviews with people who have never before come forward. 

Just hours before The Jinx finale episode aired in March 2015, Durst was sensationally arrested by the FBI at a New Orleans hotel, where he had registered under the false name 'Everette Ward'.

He was charged with, and later convicted of, the December 2000 murder of Susan Berman, a longtime friend who had fiercely defended Durst after his wife Kathleen McCormack Durst disappeared in 1982, never to be seen again. 

The original series memorably closed with Durst mumbling to himself in a bathroom while still wearing hot mic saying: 'You’re caught. What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.'

The quotes were later revealed to have been manipulated for dramatic effect but the production – done with Durst’s cooperation against the advice of his lawyer – dredged up new evidence, including an envelope that connected Durst to the scene of Berman’s killing, as well as incriminating statements he made.

Durst was sentenced to life for Berman's murder. Prosecutors alleged his motive was to prevent her from revealing what she knew about the 1982 disappearance of his wife, who was later declared legally dead.

A week after his sentencing in Berman's murder, Durst was indicted for Kathleen's murder. 

His death left a puzzle of unanswered questions surrounding her unsolved case, and renewed public interest into the deluded misdeeds of one of America's most bizarre killers.
