Netflix's upcoming series 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' created by Ryan Murphy, explores the infamous case of the Menéndez brothers, who murdered their parents in 1989. The chilling trailer features Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as José and Kitty Menéndez, with Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch portraying the brothers. The narrative highlights the family's facade of perfection against a backdrop of alleged abuse, with the brothers claiming they killed in response to long-term physical and sexual mistreatment. The prosecution, conversely, argued that the murders were motivated by a desire for the family fortune. The series promises a mix of drama, horror, and the complexities of true crime storytelling, set to premiere on September 19. Murphy's previous work on true crime anthologies suggests a provocative and engaging portrayal of this tragic story.
