The next “monsters” are almost at our doorstep—or are they monsters at all? Shortly after announcing its release date and dropping a very vague teaser, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s next Monsters series has debuted its first full-length trailer. The season, titled Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, follows the “case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez.”
A synopsis of the season continues: “While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed – and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole – that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents. 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?”
