“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” is the latest dramatization of a notorious, headline-grabbing crime by producer Ryan Murphy.
The limited series is a follow-up to 2023’s “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” which starred Evan Peters.
The show, which landed on Netflix on Thursday, tells the story of Lyle (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Erik Menéndez (Cooper Koch), who murdered their parents, José Menéndez (Javier Bardem) and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menéndez, in 1989.
The brothers were accused of killing their parents to get their inheritance, but they argued it was in response to being sexually abused by their father.
