Ryan Murphy's gripping true crime anthology series, Monster , is set to return for a chilling third season on Netflix, diving into the horrifying story of serial killer Ed Gein. Following the success of Season 1 (Jeffrey Dahmer) and Season 2 (The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), fans are eager for updates on Monster Season 3. Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast, and plot details. Monster Season 3 Release Date Speculation
Netflix has confirmed that Monster Season 3, officially titled The Original Monster , is slated for release in 2025, as revealed in a January 2025 shareholder letter. While an exact date remains unannounced, speculation points to a late summer or fall 2025 premiere, possibly September, aligning with the series' previous release patterns. Filming began on October 31, 2024, suggesting post-production could wrap in time for a 2025 debut. Monster Season 3 Cast: Who's Starring?
The cast for Monster Season 3 is stacked with talent, led by Charlie Hunnam as the infamous Ed Gein, known as the 'Butcher of Plainfield.' Hunnam, recognized for his roles in Sons of Anarchy and Pacific Rim , is set to deliver a haunting performance. Joining him are: Laurie Metcalf as Augusta Gein, Ed's domineering mother, whose influence shaped his disturbed psyche.

Monster Season 3 is expected to explore the life and crimes of Ed Gein, a Wisconsin murderer and body snatcher whose gruesome acts in the 1950s inspired fictional killers like Norman Bates ( Psycho ), Buffalo Bill ( The Silence of the Lambs ), and Leatherface ( The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ). Known for murdering at least two people, desecrating graves, and crafting items from human remains, Gein's story is both horrific and complex.
While specific plot details are scarce, the series is likely to balance graphic depictions of Gein's atrocities with a nuanced look at his mental health and isolation, sparking discussions about the ethics of true crime dramatizations.

Look: Megan Stalter stars in Lena Dunham series 'Too Much'
1 of 5 | Megan Stalter attends the SAG Awards in 2023. She stars in the upcoming Netflix series "Too Much." File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- Netflix is previewing Lena Dunham's upcoming series Too Much ahead of its July 10 arrival on the streamer. The trailer released Tuesday shows Jessica, who is portrayed by Megan Stalter, seemingly breaking into a friend's (Emily Ratajkowski) apartment in the middle of the night following a breakup. "Leaving me is the worst thing that anyone's ever done!" Jessica declares. Her grief takes her to London, where she meets and falls for a musician, Felix (Will Sharpe). "The show does a really good job of knowing what it is, but then also flipping it on its head. It has such an awareness of rom-com... But it also does have some rougher edges. That makes the sweeter aspects all the more powerful, because there's an honesty to it," Stalter told Netflix's Tudum. Adele Exarchopoulos, Adwoa Aboah, Andrew Rannells, Andrew Scott, Daisy Bevan, Dean-Charles Chapman, Janicza Bravo, Jennifer Saunders, Jessica Alba, Kaori Momoi, Kit Harington, Leo Reich, Michael Zegen, Prasanna Puwanarajah, Rhea Perlman, Richard E. Grant, Rita Ora, Rita Wilson and Stephen Fry also star. Andrew Scott, Jennifer Saunders, Kit Harington, Jessica Alba, and Rita Ora are all in Too Much? Say less! Netflix (@netflix) June 10, 2025 Stalter plays Kayla on the Max series Hacks, while Sharpe is known for portraying Ethan in The White Lotus Season 2.

Netflix secures broadcast rights for Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford boxing mega-fight
The biggest boxing fight of 2025 has found a home on the biggest streaming service in the world. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford, the Sept. 13 mega-fight between pound-for-pound greats for the sport's undisputed super middleweight titles, will be streamed globally by Netflix at no additional cost to its subscribers, Turki Alalshikh announced Tuesday. Advertisement In a major victory for the sport, Alvarez vs. Crawford becomes the third boxing event over a span of just 10 months to stream on the Netflix platform, which boasts more than 300 million global subscribers. The controversial Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul heavyweight fight became the first boxing event on Netflix this past November, ultimately being watched by an audience exceeding 65 million viewers. Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano 2 was the co-feature on that night, and now the two future Hall of Famers are set to headline Netflix's second boxing event with their trilogy fight on July 11 in New York. Additionally, Alalshikh said that Alvarez vs. Crawford will take place in Las Vegas but did not name a venue. Allegiant Stadium was originally supposed to host Alvarez vs. Crawford on Sept. 12, however once the date of the fight changed to Sept. 13, it was unable to do so, as the venue had a preexisting booking with the UNLV Rebels vs. Idaho State college football game. Advertisement It was then announced that Saudi-owned Sela would be the lead promoter for the highly anticipated 168-pound showdown instead of TKO Boxing — the latter being an entity formed by Alalshikh, UFC CEO Dana White and WWE president Nick Khan earlier this year. White and the UFC faced a dilemma when the date shifted from Sept. 12 to Sept. 13, as the UFC had already committed to promoting its Noche UFC 3 event on that date. However, construction delays at Mexico's Arena Guadalajara forced the show to be moved to San Antonio and become a Fight Night event rather than the originally-planned pay-per-view card. After this happened, White was able to commit to Alvarez vs. Crawford again, and thus TKO will be the lead promoter for the event. Allegiant Stadium is also understood to be back in play to host the show, with a potential deal in the works to shift the UNLV football game off the date. Alvarez and Crawford will come face-to-face for a three-city press tour beginning on June 20 in Riyadh, then on June 22 in New York, before concluding June 27 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
