True crime fans are in for a treat as The Confession Tapes has returned to Netflix for season two - and it's even more shocking than the first.

The bingeworthy series offers a harrowing look at cases where "people convicted of murder claim their confessions were coerced, involuntary or false".

The Confession Tapes, which won a legion of fans and was rated 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, explores four different "did they, didn't they" cases in its latest series.

In one episode titled 'Gaslight', documentary-makers looks at a truck driver, who confesses to killing a 17-year-old girl after a lengthy and exhausting interrogation without a lawyer.

While 'Joyride' centres around the wrongful conviction of Nick Sampson and Matthew Livers for shooting a married couple in a double murder in Nebraska.

The third instalment 'Deep Down' follows the story of Angelika Graswald, who after admitting that she was OK with her fiancé drowning during a kayaking expedition, sees her confession used against her by the police and media.

Rounding off the harrowing series, 'Marching Orders' centres on the arrest and wrongful conviction of Hamid Hayat and his father when they admitted to attending a terrorist camp in 2005.

A poignant moment during the teaser, one lawyer says what many are thinking: "I see it every day, 'you wouldn't have pled guilty unless you were guilty.' Let me tell you that is not how it works."

The crime documentary series, which got a 7.5 rating on IMDb, was first released on the streaming service in 2017.

The first series investigated six separate cases of potential false confessions that led to the murder convictions of the show's real-life protagonists.

Already the second instalment has caused a stir online with viewers saying the cases have made them "sick to their stomachs".

One viewer shared: "Watched the first episode of the new series of The Confession Tapes and it's already made me sick to my stomach

"The Confession Tapes makes me sick to my stomach with these crooked, evil cops who don't give a shit if the person is guilty or not," another penned.

A third commented: "Y'all NEED to watch The Confession Tapes on Netflix and tell me how many cases need to be reopened cause this is BULLS**T I'M HEATED".

The second season of The Confession Tapes is streaming right now on Netflix.
