Overview
- The fourth installment of the anthology, which dramatizes the 1892 Borden murders, quickly entered Netflix’s Top 10 lists across multiple regions after its release.
- Actress Ella Beatty stars as Lizzie Borden in the season, with reporting emphasizing the show’s psychological and gendered framing of the historical figure.
- Creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan describe Monster as a planned multi-season anthology and say they originally envisioned as many as ten seasons.
- Brennan has publicly named possible future subjects under consideration, including Dennis Rader (BTK), Ted Bundy, the Green River case, and Luigi Mangione, while noting many true-crime subjects are unsuitable for long-form treatment.
- Netflix has not yet greenlit a fifth season and is expected to wait for viewing data before deciding, a choice that will shape which crimes are selected and how the series frames real victims and suspects.
