Finished binge-watching Making a Murderer and reading all the threads and theories? If you're still not satisfied, sit tight: There may be more coming.

Filmmakers Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi, who spent 10 years making the 10-part Netflix series, told Mashable they're still working on uncovering more.

The Wisconsin-set docuseries follows Steven Avery two years after new DNA evidence exonerated him in a 1985 rape case, but not before he served 18 years in prison. Avery's subsequent lawsuit was ostensbly on the brink of exposing corruption in local law enforcement when he found himself the primary suspect in a new case: The murder of a young photographer named Teresa Halbach.

The Making duo (pictured above, Demos left and Ricciardi at right) was there roughly from the time of the arrest through Avery's conviction, capturing hours of intimate moments with his family members, lawyers and other players. And though the series debuted Dec. 18, they haven't stopped.

"The original footage is still growing," Demos told Mashable in a phone interview Tuesday. "We are continuing to document the story. We still speak to Steven, we're still recording calls with him. In a way, we're still in production."

The duo first came across the case while reading a front page New York Times article on Nov. 23, 2005, back when they were graduate students at Columbia University in New York.

"There was this story with clear drama and clear conflict — what more could a storyteller be looking for?" Demos told Mashable in a phone interview Tuesday. "But then as we talked about it over the Thanksgiving holiday, we realized that Steven was poised to be this unprecedented unique valuable window into justice system."

"We wanted to know more," Ricciardi added.

Following their Thanksgiving break in 2005, the duo found a car, packed a camera and trekked to the heart of America to cover Avery's preliminary hearing.

They had a total of two cameras and five people (Demos, Ricciardi and three of her relatives who lived in nearby Chicago) helping out on that first day of filming on Dec. 6.

"We basically stayed a week to test the waters and feel whether there was a story there," Demos said. "It was quickly apparent there was quite a bit going on an amazing cast of characters, complex issues, high stakes, all of that."

Ricciardi added: "I remember sitting through the hearing and at the end of it thinking ‘OK that was great, we got that footage, which was really compelling, but now what?’"

That was when the decision was made to drive back to New York and temporarily pack up their lives to follow the case. They purchased a car and moved to Wisconsin, thinking they would be there maybe six months.

What particularly drew Demos and Ricciardi to Avery was that he had been through this justice system, one that had failed him, but was in the position of stepping right back in — this time years later.

Plus, Avery was in the middle of a $36 million lawsuit against county officials over his previous conviction, creating a conflict of interest with the new case.

Why pick on this guy?

A major theme of Making is that local authorities had a strong bias against Avery and wanted to see him in jail regardless of his guilt or innocence.

But why? It's teased in the last episode of Making but never fully explained.

Ricciardi and Demos have a few ideas.

"Steven was uniquely positioned as he had this significant lawsuit pending against the county," Ricciardi said. "If he had prevailed and been awarded those damanges, I think it would have had a devastating impact on that county. There was that and then of course the reputational interest of local law enforcement at stake. On the other hand, Steven's story isn't unique in that many of the people that find themselves caught in the system are members of the underclass ... being a member of the underclass makes one particularly vulnerable in a situation like this."

Avery's case was an opportunity for the filmmakers to examine whether legislative reforms really had an impact on the justice system. By February of 2006, after conducing several key interviews, the two were ready to go back to New York to work and save money before returning to cover the case in full. But then they got a call: A press conference was happening (yep — the one in Episode 3).

They rushed over immediately. Sure enough, the news announced at the conference (no spoilers) changed everything. They went back to their apartment and once again unpacked their boxes. The case continued to get more complex.

Though they initially thought the series would better fit as a two-hour documentary, it became clear that format wouldn't capture the Avery's story in its entirety. So they began pitching it as a multi-part series to places they thought might want specials.

It proved difficult, as the two independent filmmakers were relatively unknown. They continued to work at the project until they finally brought it to Netflix with rough cuts of first three episodes, sketches of the next two and a 20-page outline of entire series. In all, the two had collected over 700 hours of original footage, plus hundreds more hours of acquired footage.

“There are an unbelievable number of twists and turns in the story arc of Making a Murderer, it feels like it has to be fictional,” Lisa Nishimura, Netflix's vice president of original documentary programming, said in a statement. “Ricciardi and Demos have navigated very complex terrain and skillfully woven together an incredible series that leaves you feeling like you’re right in the middle of the action.”

The timing was also right for Netflix. The demand for high-stakes crime dramas are at an all time high, following the success of podcast Serial and HBO's The Jinx. One Dateline producer who covered Avery’s arrest was even quoted in the Making a Murderer series saying, “Right now, murder is hot.”

"It's not really about the murder," Ricciardi said when asked why she thinks the genre is so popular now. "It's about accountability and the justice and the right to a fair trial ... I think that's what resonates for people."

To say Making a Murderer has resonated with viewers is quite the understatement. Since launching Dec. 18, the series has ignited tons of Internet chatter over the show, including Reddit theories, trash talk on the Yelp page for the Wisconsin attorney who handled the prosecutions of Avery, and even a Change.org petition to free Avery.

Still, both Demos and Ricciardi emphasized the focus of the docu-series was not to have people speculate "did he [Avery] do it?" While the two said they have read a few of the Reddit theories, they want to encourage viewers to go beyond just sleuthing to find more evidence.

"We care about [docu-series subjects] and wanted to tell the most accurate and compelling story we could," Ricciardi said. "But at the same time, we are hoping to elevate the dialogue to something that gets at some of the broader issues and deeper issue. Like what are potential root causes for why the justice system in the U.S. is malfunctioning?"
