Ryan Murphy's 'Monster' Season 4 Will Focus on a Female Protagonist
Though Season 3 of Netflix's Monster hasn't premiered yet, Season 4 is already in the works. If you need a refresher: Season 1 starred Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer, and season 2 followed the Menendez brothers (played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch). The upcoming third season, which is slated to premiere sometime this year, is set to star Charlie Hunnam as the serial killer Ed Gein. Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander, and Olivia Williams will also reportedly round out that cast. Now, here's everything we know about season 4 of Ryan Murphy's anthology series. According to Variety, a source shared that season 4 will focus on Lizzie Borden. Borden (1860-1927) lived in Massachusetts and was accused of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe, but she was later acquitted of the deadly crimes. After her acquittal, Borden continued to live in Fall River, MA, until she died of pneumonia in her late 60s. Borden's story has previously been immortalized on the screen in the 2015 series The Lizzie Borden Chronicles starring Christina Ricci as Borden and the 2018 film Lizzie starring Chloë Sevigny as the titular character, and Kristen Stewart as Bridget Sullivan, the Borden's live-in maid and Lizzie's close confidant. The cast for season 4 has not yet been announced. Season 4 is potentially set to begin production this fall, but Netflix has not yet renewed Monster for a fourth season, per Variety. This story will be updated.
