Dupont Investigations Season 2 is now streaming

Season 2 of the Washington occult-noir audio drama Dupont Investigations, Flight of the Fallen, is streaming everywhere now, with Episode 1 live and new episodes arriving every other Tuesday through Nov. 10. The new season expands the series’ 1936 Washington mystery with a Gilded Age brewmaster, a winged creature and a larger audience after season 1 topped 24,500 certified downloads.

Why it matters: - Dupont Investigations is back with a bigger, darker story that builds on a first season that drew more than 24,500 IAB Tech Lab-certified downloads. - The new season broadens the show's reach for new listeners, with the first episode live now and the full release schedule already set. - The series also keeps growing its Washington, DC identity, using the city’s history and folklore as the backdrop for the mystery.

What happened: - Season 2, titled Flight of the Fallen, is now streaming everywhere podcasts are available. - Episode 1 is live. - New episodes will release every other Tuesday through the Nov. 10 finale. - The season returns to 1936 Washington, described in the series as the “District of Crime.” - The story follows occult private investigator Torsten Somersby and his partner Nigel Clemmons. - Christian Heurich, the famed brewmaster who was Washington’s largest employer after the federal government, hires Torsten in the new season.

The details: - The central threat is a winged creature that crosses from the old world into the new. - The creature’s backstory reaches to the Austrian Alps in 1861. - Torsten and Nigel track the creature through 1936 Washington, including Heurich’s Foggy Bottom brewery. - The investigation moves toward the truth behind “the fallen.” - Season 1, The Scourge from Carthage, ran six episodes. - New listeners can also explore the show's hand-annotated visual case file to learn the world of the series. - The show’s official Season 2 trailer is available in the release materials. - The online press kit is available here. - Nocturne Hall also pointed listeners to @nocturnehall on Instagram for previews and cast reveals.

Between the lines: - Marc Benjamin Langston said the new season has been years in the making and now belongs to listeners. - The creators are leaning into a serial, atmospheric format that mixes crime, history and supernatural horror. - The Washington setting is doing more than providing scenery. It functions as part of the story’s identity and appeal. - Season 1’s certified download total suggests the audience is already established before the new season starts.

What's next: - The season will roll out on a twice-monthly schedule until the Nov. 10 finale. - New listeners can start with Episode 1 now or go back to Season 1 before the story continues. - More previews and cast reveals are expected through Nocturne Hall’s Instagram account.

The bottom line: - Dupont Investigations is betting that a larger, serialized mystery with a strong DC setting can deepen its audience while keeping the supernatural hook front and center.
