The next installment in the ‘Monster’ anthology series from Netflix and Ryan Murphy (“American Horror Story”) is titled “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” and the streaming service has debuted the official teaser trailer and announced the release date today.
“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” premieres September 19 on Netflix.
Javier Bardem, Chloë Sevigny, Cooper Koch, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez star.
Following the massive success of “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” starring Evan Peters, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology series returns with “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” chronicling the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez.
While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed – and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole – that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.
“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” dives into the historic case that took the world by storm, paved the way for audiences’ modern-day fascination with true crime, and in return asks those audiences: Who are the real monsters?
The full cast also includes Nathan Lane, Ari Graynor, Leslie Grossman, Dallas Roberts, Paul Adelstein, Jason Butler Harner, Enrique Murciano, Michael Gladis, Drew Powell, Charlie Hall, Gil Ozeri, Jeff Perry, Tessa Auberjonois, Tanner Stine, Larry Clarke, Jade Pettyjohn, Marlene Forte, and Vicki Lawrence.
