The filmmakers behind Netflix's Making a Murderer may be picking up on the Steven Avery story in the future.

Making a Murderer creators Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos are still interested in the Avery case. The Wisconsin native, who was convicted for the accused murder of Teresa Halbach, currently has a new lawyer, Kathleen Zellner, looking to prove his innocence.

Ricciardi and Demos indicated in an interview with The Evening Standard that they may follow up on the Avery case.

"If we were to continue following we would have to be clear on why we would do that. It's real life. But we have spoken to Kathleen Zellner about potentially filming with her. If the stars align, we might well do it," Ricciardi said.

The documentarians also spoke on their angle to show the human side of how Avery and his family dealt with the trial and conviction, rather than setting out to solve who really murdered Halbach.

"We knew our job was not to investigate the case or try to work out who had killed this poor woman. We never took that on. We couldn't," Ricciardi said. "We never set out to anoint anyone here - we chose the story because of Steven's unique status. We wanted to speak to everyone but we had no control over whether they would participate. Some did, some didn't. We thought the more perspectives we could include, the richer the story would be and so we found ways to include points of view of people who refused to participate."

Ricciardi continued, "We were there not to judge the Averys, we were offering them a voice. I think what people see is that as documentarians, we had empathy. The resilience of this particular family - they had already endured the horror of Steven being wrongfully imprisoned for 18 years. They were helpless in the face of a system which ground him up and spit him out. Luckily they were open to us and incredibly gracious."

Making a Murderer is currently available to stream on Netflix.
