Do you hear that dull roar in the distance? That's the sound of Serial fans -- myself included -- losing their minds over the news that, after a long legal process and 16 years behind bars, a Baltimore judge has just vacated the murder conviction of Adnan Syed and granted him a new trial.
Adnan's attorney is pretty pleased with the news:
This new ruling is the indirect result of Sarah Koenig's Serial podcast and the direct result of a recent hearing, which involved testimony from a new alibi, Asia McClain, as well as new cell phone tower information not used during the original trial.

No date has yet been set for this new trial.
Until then, read up on all our past Serial coverage (there's a lot).
