Netflix has shared a poster and first look images for Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, the next chapter in Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s Monster anthology series and the first to tackle a female ‘Monster’ with Ella Beatty starring as the infamous “axe murderer” alongside Vicky Krieps as Bridget Sullivan, Rebecca Hall as Abby Borden, and Charlie Hunnam as Andrew Borden.
“I am so excited for viewers to experience our exploration of Lizzie Borden’s story and the questions that her life animates to this day,” said Beatty of the series. “It has been a dream come true to investigate this complicated person’s psychology and to examine an American crime that feels almost mythic in proportion. This season gives us our first female Monster and delves into female rage and repression, which I’ve found to feel strikingly relevant, and I cannot wait to share it with the world.”
Also featuring Billie Lourd, Joey Pollari, Sarah Paulson, Jessica Barden, you can check out the poster and first look images for the eight-episode season here…
When the repressed daughter of a wealthy New England family and her rebellious maid find themselves trapped in a house built on humiliation and cruelty, they escape into a fantasy of sex, power, and revenge. The gruesome unsolved murders that follow don’t just shock the world – they give birth to an icon who refuses to live imprisoned in a cage, choosing instead to forge her own legend: shocking, monstrous, and gloriously free.
Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story will premiere on Netflix on September 17th 2026.
