Set to premiere on June 14, 2022, at 9 pm ET, the official trailer for the second season shows Mary Jo Buttafuoco discussing the controversial 1992 event when Amy Fisher shot her straight in the face. The former explained the incident in the trailer, saying,

"I turned my head to open my door, and that’s when my head exploded."

Buttafuoco reveals that her attacker was a victim of statutory r*pe at the hands of her husband, Joey Buttafuoco. Following the aforementioned incident, Fisher, who was dubbed "The Long Island Lolita" by the media, was sent to prison for seven years for the attack, after being charged with first-degree aggravated assault.

The trailer also features 90s legend, Maury Povich, and promises a deeper look into 90s TV shows such as Fox's Cops, MTV's The Real World as well as the MMA and UFC of the era.

The official synopsis of The Dark Side of 90s reads:

"From the famous to the infamous, each episode tells a story that cultivates the warm and fuzzy familiarity of nostalgia, but surprises with revelations of the dark truths that existed in the shadows of the glitz, the glamour and the headlines."
