Charlie Hunnam Cast as Ed Gein in Netflix Series

Charlie Hunnam has transformed into serial killer Ed Gein for the third season of Netflix's 'Monster' anthology, with set images showcasing his striking new look. Hunnam's portrayal, which features a red plaid jacket and brown plaid shirt, reflects the 1950s style associated with Gein, known for his gruesome crimes that led to nicknames like 'The Plainfield Butcher'. Filming has been ongoing since early November, with the season expected to premiere in 2025, following the success of previous installments focused on notorious figures such as Jeffrey Dahmer. Co-star Vicky Krieps was also spotted on set, contributing to a light atmosphere despite the dark subject matter. The show is directed by Carl Franklin, with Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan serving as executive producers. Production is set to continue into 2025, with some scenes anticipated to be filmed in Chicago.
