Bone Valley returns for Season Five with “The Devil’s Quarry,” an eight-part investigative true-crime series from longtime Rolling Stone contributing writer Paul Solotaroff. The new installment, which was selected for the 2026 Tribeca Festival, is slated to release on June 10.
Solotaroff’s five-year investigation into a hunter’s discovery of the bones of a 12-year-old girl in the woods outside Carmel, New York, unfolds across the eight episodes. “Buried records, ignored warnings, and questions a justice system long ago thought it had answered are forced back into the open,” reads a synopsis of the new season, which asks the question: “Who is the devil among us?”
Per a press release, “The Devil’s Quarry” will continue Lava for Good production’s award-winning Bone Valley franchise, which has been credited with “influencing exonerations, clemencies, pardons, and reforms across the American justice system.”
For Solotaroff, the case has shadowed his reporting for half a decade, building from his landmark Rolling Stone feature “The Devil You Know.” The second installment of “The Devil’s Quarry” has already been given the green light by iHeartPodcasts, with additional details to be announced.
“There are certain stories you sink your teeth in. Then, once or twice a career — if you’re lucky — comes a story that sinks its teeth in you,” Solotaroff said. “The monster at the heart of ‘The Devil’s Quarry’ has stalked my dreams for years. This eight-part series is an exorcism: the scourging of a demon with sunlight.”
Sean Woods, Rolling Stone‘s Co-Editor in Chief, said that he has been “haunted by Paul’s reporting on the lost children of Putnam County since he handed in his first draft all those years ago.”
Woods continued, “In over 25 years of covering true crime, I don’t think I’ve read a more chilling story. The failures of our criminal justice system and the horrible fates of too many young people have stayed with me ever since we published ‘The Devil You Know.’ This podcast continues the story and, hopefully, will finally lead to some justice.”
Lava for Good production works in partnership with iHeartPodcasts and in association with Rolling Stone Films and Signal Co. No1.
