The true crime series Dahmer was a huge surprise hit on Netflix. Now the thriller sequel about another shocking and real case is coming in September
With over one billion hours streamed, the true crime series Dahmer – Monster: The Story of Jeffrey Dahmer is one of the most-watched Netflix series ever. This September, the streaming service is releasing a sequel to the abysmal killer anthology, which is set to build on its mega-success. We can now get to know the new “monsters” in the newly released teaser
Netflix follow-up to Dahmer revolves around the murderers Lyle and Erik Menendez
The story of Lyle and Erik Menendez is once again the brainchild of American Horror Story creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. This time, however, the focus is not on a heinous serial killer, but on a shocking and real-life double murder from 1989.
Watch the teaser trailer for the new monster season on Netflix here:
The new teaser for the Netflix series creates an idyllic family portrait of the Menendez family, but appearances are deceptive. Brothers Erik (Cooper Koch) and Lyle (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) will soon murder their parents Kitty (Chloë Sevigny) and José (Javier Bardem) together and cover up their bloody deed. But are they really stone-cold murderers who only had their father’s fortune in mind? Or were they perhaps tragic victims who wanted to free themselves from the real monsters in their history?
The story of the brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez has already provided the basis for several true crime documentaries, feature films and series. A detailed fictional reappraisal of the case previously took place in 2017 in the crime series Law & Order: True Crime
When will Monster: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez start on Netflix?
The miniseries Monster: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez will be released on Netflix on September 19, 2024 with all eight episodes.
Following the success of Dahmer, Netflix immediately extended the monster anthology by two more seasons. It is not yet known which infamous real-life murder case will be explored in the third installment.
