Overview
- Netflix has confirmed Monstruo: La historia de Lizzie Borden as the fourth season of the Monster anthology and set its premiere for September 17, 2026, with an eight-episode run.
- Ella Beatty stars as Lizzie Borden and the principal cast includes Charlie Hunnam as Andrew Borden, Rebecca Hall as Abby Borden, Vicky Krieps as Bridget Sullivan, Billie Lourd and Jessica Barden.
- The series uses the real 1892 Fall River murders and Lizzie’s 1893 trial as a starting point but blends documented facts with dramatized storytelling rather than presenting a strict documentary account.
- Netflix released a 50-second teaser in August that pairs childlike nursery-rhyme audio with graphic imagery, prompting coverage noting the trailer’s disturbing content and questions about the marketing tone.
- The season marks the franchise’s first female-centered episode and is likely to renew public interest in the unresolved Borden case while raising fresh questions about the ethics of dramatizing historic crimes.
