The filming of Jailbirds at the Orleans Justice Center jail in New Orleans was a controversial topic. Why are there just 3 Jailbirds New Orleans episodes? I was one of the viewers a bit surprised by the truncated season, so I began research the topic hoping to find an explanation. The third episode ends just after we are introduced to Julie Raffray, who was awaiting sentencing after initially being charged with second-degree murder in the overdose death of an FBI informant.įans of the show began posting on social media, asking if there were any more Jailbirds New Orleans episodes to come. Not only does Jailbirds New Orleans only have three episodes, but the season seems to cut off abruptly. That is half the number of episodes of the six-episode premiere season. However, the excitement of many viewers was cut short when the series dropped and there were only three episodes. Fans of the Netflix docuseries Jailbirds were thrilled with the streaming service announced that the second installment of the franchise, Jailbirds New Orleans, would be released on September 24.
