The second season of the returning Kapamilya crime docu-drama series, SOCO: Scene of the Crime Operatives, is set to be released first on iWant on April 11, 2026, seven days before its on-air premiere on April 18, 2026, via Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, ALLTV2, and A2Z, at 17:00.

SOCO, produced by ABS-CBN News and led by veteran journalist Gus Abelgas, paves the way for delivering the details and developments of each case, providing context to these spine-tingling, real-life crime stories. And with the second season of SOCO soon to arrive, Jeff Caparas and Jessie Cruzat are tapping in to revisit past criminal happenings throughout the country.

The new season of SOCO will feature these first three episodes: Maso, Kuyog, and Pagnanasa. The second season of SOCO will also feature more crime-related episodes, following the first three episodes, for everyone watching this Limited Crime Docu-Drama.

In Maso, it tells the story of a 2025 Malaybalay City Killing Case, which involved a criminology student who killed his parents and a younger sibling using a hammer.
In Kuyog, it tackles a massive attack in Tondo, Manila, back in October 2023, involving a 20-year-old criminology student who was attacked by a group outside a bar, who was later found dead, with the incident captured on a CCTV camera.
In Pagnanasa, it involves the reported loss and killing of a 15-year-old student in Valencia, Bukidnon, back in January 2026, with authorities later identifying a suspect with a prior record.

SOCO Season 2 premieres on April 18, 2026, on several ABS-CBN platforms, and on April 11, 2026, exclusively to iWant subscribers.

Back on October 24, 2025, SOCO made a comeback via iWant, where Gus, Zyann Ambrosio, Dennis Datu, Jeff Caparas, Lyza Aquino, and Jessie Cruzat delivered the past criminal stories, which uncover compelling crime stories through detailed reenactments, first-hand interviews, and crucial evidence that brings viewers closer to the pursuit of justice. It was also aired on January 17, 2026, via Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, ALLTV2, and A2Z.

The first season of renewed SOCO began with the first episode, which investigates the Ebeng Mayor murder case (“TikTok”), followed by a 2004 Valenzuela City Bank Heist (“Engkwentro”), the killing of a 25-year-old Liezel Navia (“Boso”), the murder of Emy Marin and Analyn Cortuna (“Ahas sa Pamilya”), the Nini case (“Delusyon”), the story of Jenny Rose and Boyet Panzo (“Obsesyon”), the Aegis Juris Fraternity case (“Kapatiran”), the 2023 Vinculado Murder Case (“Boarder”), the San Leonardo Massacre in Nueva Ecija (“Taga”), and the murder case of Karie Ces Mojica (“Aika”).

Totoong Krimen. Totoong Kwento. Totoong Katarungan. Hindi nagsisinungaling ang ebidensya, as what the Documentary Crime series implied in its slogan.
