Before the premiere of its second season, Ryan Murphy announced what is coming in this anthology series.
Ryan Murphy surprised the audience at the premiere of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story of Netflix on Monday with news about the next installment of his Netflix anthology series. While introducing the cast of Monsters on stage, including Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevignyannounced that there will be a third season starring Charlie Hunnam (Sons Of Anarchy) as Ed Gein.
Murphy did not provide any further details about the project, including the scriptwriters. His announcement was unexpected and, according to specialized media, it is not clear whether all the agreements for the new installment have been closed.
Who is Ed Gein?
Season 3, like the first, focuses on another twisted killer. Edward Geinknown as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul, confessed to murdering two women in the 1950s and also allegedly made trophies from bodies and skin of corpses he exhumed from graveyards. Gein’s story inspired the character of Leatherface in the director’s 1974 horror classic Tobe Hooper, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Monster was created by Murphy and Ian Brennan, and the original installment ranked number 3 on Netflix’s Top 10 English-language shows list. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story debuts Thursday on Netflix.
Known for his role as Jackson ‘Jax’ Teller in Sons Of Anarchy from FX, Hunnam also headlined Shantaram from Apple TV+ and will next be seen starring Criminal from Prime Video. His most recent film credit is Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire from Netflix.
