They’re ready for the next Monster season, and they’ve got their killer lined up.
New Season Revelation
During the Los Angeles premiere of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Ryan Murphy, the co-creator, disclosed that Ed Gein will be the focus of the next Monster anthology. Charlie Hunnam, known for his roles in Sons of Anarchy and Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire, is set to take on the lead role.
First Season Triumph
The debut season, DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, featured Evan Peters as Dahmer and Niecey Nash as Glenda Cleveland. This season delved into the life of the infamous serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer. Garnering 1 billion hours of viewing in its initial 60 days, it became one of only four series to hit this mark. Currently, it’s the third most-watched English language series on Netflix.
Fans sure do love a gripping story!
