The Real Murders on Elm Street Season 2

The Real Murders on Elm Street, Season 2 Episode 1, is titled Someone's Watching Her. It revolves around Cindy Sumner, a 20-year-old who goes missing in Toledo, Ohio. All the cops have to go on a cryptic message that leads them to the city’s Elm Street.
They poke around a rundown warehouse and stumble on evidence about her disappearance. The whole episode is a ride through small-town paranoia, police piecing together clues, and everybody realizing the neighborhood isn’t as friendly as it looks.
Episode 2 is titled Trailing a Killer, airing on October 8, 2025. The story is set on New Year’s Eve in Massachusetts, when twenty-year-old Tara Gillon is discovered dead. Due to snow everywhere, there is a single trail of footprints and one missing shoe. That’s it. That’s all the cops have to chase this ghost of a killer.
Episode 3 is titled Mommy’s Dead, airing on October 15, 2025. Cops walk into a murder scene after a toddler blurts out, “Mommy’s dead.” Two boys make it out alive, but there’s a creep targeting families on the loose.
Episode 4 is titled Laced with Powder, airing on October 22, 2025. So, three friends are just trying to get their hair freshened. They roll into the barbershop, and the barber is dead on the floor. There is this odd white powder everywhere, and rumor has it that the guy recently came into some cash, so it is suspected that there could be a financial motive.
Episode 5 is titled Savage Woods, airing on October 29, 2025. Bones are discovered in the Pennsylvania woods, and at first, people think that it’s just a bear attack. Turns out, there’s a confession that blows everything up: jealousy, betrayal, friends turning on each other.
Episode 6 is titled Nightmare Before Christmas, airing on November 5, 2025. Christmas Eve should be cozy, not a crime scene. Instead, two women (big shots on Elm Street) are found tied up and suffocated. It gets messy because the suspects are a little too close for comfort.
For the uninitiated, The Real Murders on Elm Street Season 1 (which dropped September 9, 2024), featured six episodes, each one about murders on different Elm Streets. Season 2 is set to keep that same six-episode format.
The show has a gritty, hyper-detailed style: cops talking, survivors sharing, families grieving, and moody reenactments that stick with you, similar to how episodes like Killer in the Walls and And We Have Serial Killers were nightmare fuel, peeling back layers of psychological chaos of these murderers.
The big hook is that every single crime ties back to Elm Street. The Real Murders on Elm Street pulls you in with this bizarre connection to the streets named Elm.
ID is pairing new episodes with Friday the 13th Murders, betting big on your appetite for dark, binge-worthy crime docs. And if you’re a streamer, HBO Max has your back, where you can catch up or stay up-to-date.
