Following the huge success of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Ryan Murphy continues his collaboration with Netflix by working on a new season of his anthology series that follows the journey of the criminals who marked the history of the United States.
The new “Monsters” by Ryan Murphy.
Forget the “Milwaukee Cannibal” played by Evan Peters and discover brothers Lyle and Eric Menendez in Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Eric Menendez. These two Americans are known for the murder of their parents, Jose and Mary Menendez, in 1989.
The case made headlines because the brothers made shocking revelations during their highly publicized trial: They had allegedly been sexually abused by their father throughout their childhood. This information is confirmed by several testimonies and details.

But the murders of Jose and Mary Menendez are still shrouded in mystery, as their fortunes totaled $14 million and some believe financial motivation prevailed above all else. Lyle and Eric Menendez were eventually sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan set their sights on young actors Cooper Koch (They/Them, Swallowed) and Nicholas Alexander Chavez (Central Hospital) as the Menendez brothers.
Two huge stars join the cast
Netflix just announced the arrival of two huge stars to the cast of this new season via a tweet on X (formerly Twitter).
Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Dune, Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and Chloë Sevigny (Boys Don’t Cry, Big Love, American Horror Story) have been cast as Lyle and Eric Menendez’s parents, Jose and Mary.
But that’s not all, Netflix confirms with this teaser that this new season will be available on the platform this year. In addition, the American giant has “exclusive access” to the Menendez brothers for an upcoming documentary on the controversial case.
