True crime enthusiasts have something new to anticipate with the return of Snapped: Behind Bars. This spin-off show from the hit Oxygen program Snapped delves deeply into the cases of women who have been convicted of murder. It includes exclusive in-prison interviews with the women, where they discuss their cases.
The series combines old footage from the original shows with new interviews with experts, loved ones, and the perpetrators themselves. During these interviews, the subjects usually confess to regrets, alibis for their innocence, or explanations about what happened before the crimes.
Season 3 continues last season’s formula by featuring cases from current Snapped episodes. It delves into the motives and psychological motivations of the perpetrators and the lasting impacts on victims’ families.
The season debuts on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025, at 6 pm ET/5 pm CT on Oxygen True Crime. Viewers can watch it live on cable or stream it later on platforms such as Peacock. Although the total number of episodes has not been made public, there should be about six to eight episodes, given previous seasons.

Subsequent episodes will air at the same time every Sunday after that. Viewers can follow the series week by week as new revelations are made.
