Ava DuVernay's Netflix series, When They See Us, is based on the true story of the Central Park Five. Five boys were wrongfully accused and convicted of raping and beating a white woman in 1989. The men have since been exonerated of those crimes and are now in their mid-forties.
What actually happened in When They See Us?
When They See Us was inspired by and tells the story of the Central Park jogger case from 1989. The case involved Trisha Meili, a 28-year-old investment banker who was raped and assaulted as she went for a jog in Central Park, Manhattan on the night of 19 April 1989.
Who was guilty in When They See Us?
Reyes had asked Korey if he was still refusing to say he was guilty of the attack, despite having the chance of numerous parole hearings. Soon afterwards, Reyes confessed to assaulting and raping the jogger and leaving her for dead when he was just 17-years-old.
Will there be a season 2 of When They See Us?
Frankly, the show is a mini-series and will not be receiving a second season because the first season had four episodes that covered and showcased almost everything. The story of the Central Park Five is known to the entire world, including millions of Netflix users.
