Netflix's Monsters anthology series, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, has gripped audiences with its chilling dives into real-life crime stories. After the success of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story in 2022 and Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story in 2024, fans are eagerly awaiting the third installment. Titled Monster: The Original Monster , this season will focus on the infamous serial killer Ed Gein. Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast, plot, and what to expect from this highly anticipated season. Release Date Rumors: When Will Monsters Season 3 Premiere?
As of July 2025, Netflix has not announced an official release date for Monsters Season 3, but clues from production timelines and industry sources point to a likely premiere in late 2025. Filming began in November 2024 in Chicago and Los Angeles, with additional shoots reported in February 2025. Given that the first two seasons launched in September (2022 for Season 1 and 2024 for Season 2), a similar fall release, possibly September or October 2025, seems plausible. Cast Updates: Who's Starring in Monsters Season 3?
The cast for Monster: The Original Monster is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet, blending seasoned actors with fresh faces. Here's who's confirmed so far: Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein
Laurie Metcalf as Augusta Gein
Tom Hollander as Alfred Hitchcock
Olivia Williams as Alma Reville
Suzanna Son

Rumored Additions
The inclusion of Hitchcock and Reville hints at a broader exploration of Gein's cultural impact, particularly in shaping horror cinema. Ryan Murphy has expressed excitement about working with Hunnam, noting his resemblance to Gein and his ability to portray complex characters. Plot: What to Expect from Monster: The Original Monster
Monster: The Original Monster will center on Ed Gein, a Wisconsin native whose gruesome crimes in the 1950s shocked the world. Born in 1906, Gein was arrested in 1957 after the disappearance of hardware store owner Bernice Worden. Authorities discovered her decapitated body at Gein's farmhouse, along with human remains used to create macabre items like lampshades, masks, and a suit made of skin. Gein confessed to murdering Worden and another woman, Mary Hogan, and admitted to exhuming bodies from a local cemetery for his grotesque creations. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, he was deemed unfit for trial in 1958 but was later convicted.
Unlike previous seasons, which focused heavily on the killers' crimes and trials, Season 3 will take a unique approach by examining Gein as the 'first celebrity serial killer' and his influence on pop culture. The inclusion of Alfred Hitchcock and Alma Reville suggests the season will explore how Gein's story inspired films like Psycho , The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , and The Silence of the Lambs . Expect a blend of psychological horror, true crime, and commentary on how media sensationalized Gein's atrocities.
The season may delve into Gein's isolated upbringing, his toxic relationship with his mother, and the psychological factors that drove his actions. Fans speculate it could also touch on unconfirmed theories, such as Gein's possible involvement in his brother's death in a 1944 farm fire. The narrative is expected to be darker and more horror-driven than Season 2's courtroom drama, with graphic depictions of Gein's crimes, including grave robbing and body mutilation.
