Ryan Murphy’s obsession with real-life macabre continues with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. This is the follow-up to his Emmy-winning series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story from 2022.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, chronicles the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez.
Lyle and Erik were convicted of killing their parents for money, but they still contend that their actions were the result of, “fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.”
According to Netflix: “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?”
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story will premiere on Netflix September 19.
