Netflix brings audiences another tale of infamous murders with a new season of Monsterbut called this time Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez. The new season of the hugely popular series, which will focus on the Menendez brothers, received a brief teaser trailer on Monday, but won’t arrive on the streaming service until sometime in 2024.
In the first season of Monster, which debuted in 2022, Evan Peters played notorious cannibal and serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The new season will follow the Menendez brothers, who killed their parents before going on a lavish shopping spree, and will be at the center of one of the biggest and most public murder trials of the 1990s – before OJ Simpsons, of course. The Menendez brothers were convicted in 1996; Her better-known trial in 1993 ended with two deadlocked juries. They were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Dahmer – Monsters: The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer was one of Netflix’s biggest hits of 2022 and was created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The two also served as executive producers on the show’s first season, with Murphy as showrunner. There is no official word yet as to whether this will be the case Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story or not.
