Netflix's true crime anthology series "Monsters" is continuing with "Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story," focusing on the infamous case of the Menendez brothers who were convicted of killing their parents in 1996.
The Menendez brothers were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The miniseries explores the conflicting narratives surrounding the case, with the brothers claiming they acted out of fear due to years of abuse, while prosecutors argued they killed for inheritance.
The series is created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, with a star-studded cast including Javier Bardem, Chloë Sevigny, Nicholas Alexander Chavez, and Nathan Lane.
Directors include Brennan, Max Winkler, and Carl Franklin. Ryan Murphy, and David McMillan are the writers.
The Menendez case was previously depicted in "The Menendez Murders."
The previous series by Murphy, "Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story," was criticized for being exploitative, with families of Dahmer's victims speaking out against it.
