Netflix is moving ahead with a fourth installment of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology “Monster,” shifting its focus to the 1892 axe murders linked to Lizzie Borden, according to trade reports. Production is being readied for a possible fall 2025 shoot in Los Angeles, though the streamer has not formally announced the season and declined to comment on the development. The decision extends a franchise that began in 2022 with Jeffrey Dahmer and quickly became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows. Season 2 dramatized the Menendez brothers, and Season 3—still awaiting a premiere date—will feature Charlie Hunnam as Wisconsin killer Ed Gein. Brennan is set to return as showrunner alongside Murphy for the Borden chapter, which will examine the still-debated slayings of Borden’s father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. Borden was acquitted in 1893 and lived free until her death in 1927. With Season 4 already in the works ahead of Season 3’s release, Netflix signals continued confidence in the serial-killer format that has drawn both sizable audiences and criticism over the dramatization of real-world crimes. Casting details and a release timetable for the Lizzie Borden season have yet to be disclosed.
