The six-episode Paramount miniseries Waco, which premiered on January 24, 2018, examined the 51-day standoff between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas. It looked at the tragedy both before and during the standoff, from a range of perspectives from people closely connected to the two sides of the conflict. However, what followed after the events of the Waco siege was nothing less than a tragedy itself, and it would've been unfair to leave it out of the series. Paramount+ ordered a sequel series of Waco in April 2022 to present the two-month siege's repercussions that are equally important to this cautionary tale. Waco: The Aftermath (previously titled American Tragedies: Waco - The Trials) will examine the incidents and the unfair justice administered to the Branch Davidians who survived. It takes place after the terrible incidents that stoked the burgeoning "Patriot" movement and gave rise to the Oklahoma City terrorist attack.
