Following the groundbreaking success of DAHMER, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan return with the next installment in their true-crime anthology series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Premiering on September 19th at 12:00 AM PT, this highly anticipated series delves into the shocking case of the Menendez brothers, who were convicted in 1996 for the brutal murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez.
This new chapter in the Monsters series examines the complex narrative surrounding the brothers’ claims of enduring years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, which they argue led to their fateful actions. In stark contrast, the prosecution portrayed Lyle and Erik as cold-blooded killers driven by greed, seeking to inherit their family’s wealth.
As audiences immerse themselves in this harrowing story, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story challenges viewers to question who the true monsters are in this tragic tale. With a team of acclaimed writers and directors, including Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, and David McMillan, the series promises to captivate and disturb in equal measure.
Executive produced by Murphy, Brennan, and an all-star team including Alexis Martin Woodall and Javier Bardem, the series continues to explore the darkest corners of human behavior. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story arrives on September 19th, exclusively on Netflix.
