The first season of In The Vault caught my eye during Crackle’s May 2022 programming announcement. Its description wasn’t lengthy. In fact, all it said was “Freshman Liv Steele (Claudia Lee) arrives at Woodlawn College excited for a fresh start, but…will her past catch up with her?”
But its cover image looked intriguing too. Sort of had a Scream vibe to it. And then Crackle’s June 2022 programming lineup included a little more description: “Everyone in the dorm hall is a suspect. Each episode spotlights a different character, so a hero one week is a villain the next.”
I binged a few episodes and liked what I saw but I still haven’t gone back to finish season 1 yet. (That’s not a reflection on the series as much as my obsession with true crime docs. There have been some really wild ones that have released this summer. My spare time has been consumed with binging those.)
Anyway, here we are with the August 2022 Crackle programming highlights and low and behold it includes info about In the Vault season 2. But that’s not all. Let’s check it out.

Does anything catch your fancy?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
