Netflix's upcoming series 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' produced by Ryan Murphy, explores the infamous murders of José and Mary Louise 'Kitty' Menendez by their sons in 1989. The full trailer reveals the brothers, portrayed by Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch, executing their parents with shotguns, while hinting at their claims of long-term abuse as a motive. Javier Bardem stars as José Menendez, and Chloë Sevigny plays Kitty, with Nathan Lane depicting investigative journalist Dominick Dunne. The narrative juxtaposes the brothers' assertion of being victims against the prosecution's claims of greed for their parents' wealth.

With its graphic portrayal of family dysfunction, the series follows the success of Murphy's previous anthology, 'Dahmer,' which received critical acclaim.
