Ella Beatty takes center stage in the first teaser for Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story

Like it or not, Ryan Murphy and his production company sure know how to churn out TV shows swiftly. In 2026 alone, he’s already delivered FX’s The Beauty, Love Story, and the ongoing The Shards. He’s also got new seasons of American Horror Story, ABC’s 9-1-1, and Hulu’s All’s Fair left to go this year. And now, Netflix adds to it with the latest season of his awards-bait drama, Monster. 

Co-created by Murphy and frequent collaborator Ian Brennan, each season of Monster has centered on different true-crime figures: Jeffrey Dahmer, brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez, and Ed Gein. The latest season ventures further back in time to focus on Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquitted of the axe murders of her father and stepmother in Massachusetts in 1892. And if the first teaser for Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story is any indication, there’s plenty of bloodshed, freakiness, and a killer ensemble in this one, too.
