“Monster” Season 3 has yet to set a premiere date, but Season 4 of the hit Netflix anthology series is already in the works.
Variety has learned from sources that a fourth season focused on the Lizzie Borden case is currently prepping for a potential fall shoot, though no official Season 4 renewal has been announced at this time.
Reps for Netflix and Murphy declined to comment.
Borden lived in Massachusetts in the late 1800s. In 1892, she was accused of murdering both her father and her stepmother with an axe at their shared home. Borden was eventually acquitted of the crimes, but the brutal nature of the murders attracted nationwide attention and contributed to Borden’s place in popular culture.
The case has been the subject of numerous adaptations across a wide variety of media. Recent examples include “The Lizzie Borden Chronicles” TV series starring Christina Ricci and the film “Lizzie” starring Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart.
“Monster” Season 3 is believed to be releasing later in 2025. As previously reported, Charlie Hunnam will star as serial killer Ed Gein. Gein became infamous in the 1950s when authorities discovered that he not only had killed multiple people, but had dug up graves from a cemetery near his home and fashioned all manner of household items and clothing from human remains.Additional cast members for the season include Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander, and Olivia Williams.
“Monster” originally debuted on Netflix in 2022 and hailed from creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The first season received widespread acclaim, particularly for the performances of Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer and Niecey Nash as Glenda Cleveland. Peters won a Golden Globe for the show, while Nash won an Emmy. It currently ranks as the fourth most-watched season of TV in Netflix history. Season 2 debuted in September 2024 and told the story of the Menendez brothers.
