Dupont Investigations season 2 centers on Washington brewer Christian Heurich

Nocturne Hall is previewing Season 2 of Dupont Investigations, Flight of the Fallen, with a new YouTube clip and a September 1 premiere. The season draws on the real history of Christian Heurich, tying a Washington legend to an occult-noir mystery set in 1936.

Why it matters: - Dupont Investigations is using a real Washington historical figure, brewmaster Christian Heurich, to anchor the plot of Season 2. - The season mixes local history, occult fiction and a 1936 Washington setting, giving the series a stronger regional identity. - Nocturne Hall is also using the new clip to drive interest ahead of the September 1 premiere.

What happened: - Nocturne Hall released a new clip, “Thirty Dollars a Day,” from Season 2 of Dupont Investigations: Flight of the Fallen. - The season premieres Tuesday, September 1. - The clip is now on YouTube. - The scene introduces the season’s client, Christian Heurich, a real Washington brewmaster. - The full clip is available on YouTube.

The details: - Christian Heurich lived from 1842 to 1945. - He was a German immigrant who built the largest brewery Washington, DC, has ever known. - Heurich became Washington’s largest employer after the federal government. - His Foggy Bottom brewery is gone. - His Dupont-area mansion remains as the Heurich House Museum, known as the “Brewmaster’s Castle.” - In Flight of the Fallen, Heurich brings a problem to occult private investigator Torsten Somersby that his fortune cannot solve. - “Thirty Dollars a Day” opens the case with a fee exchange that sets the tone for the series. - The series is an occult-noir story set in 1936 Washington. - Torsten Somersby has deep knowledge of the occult and takes cases no one else will touch. - The season’s central threat is a winged creature whose story begins in the Austrian Alps in 1861. - Torsten and partner Nigel Clemmons track the creature from Heurich’s brewery toward Innsbruck, Austria. - The investigation ties into the truth behind “the fallen.”

Between the lines: - Marc Benjamin Langston said Heurich’s legacy became a source of fascination after touring the Heurich House several years ago. - The season appears designed to blend local history with supernatural mystery in a way that may appeal to Washington listeners and podcast fans looking for place-based storytelling. - The “thirty dollars a day” exchange signals that the show is leaning on character, period detail and humor as much as plot.

What's next: - Flight of the Fallen premieres September 1. - New listeners can start with Season 1, The Scourge from Carthage. - Season 1 has six episodes running 30 to 50 minutes each. - Season 1 is streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and other platforms. - A hand-annotated visual case file is available at the case file. - The debut season has more than 24,000 IAB Tech Lab-certified downloads. - Washingtonian spotlighted the first season. - Additional media resources include the press kit and Nocturne Hall’s Instagram.

The bottom line: - Dupont Investigations is leaning harder into Washington history for Season 2, and Christian Heurich is now part of the show’s supernatural mythology.
