The true-crime drama debuts in September.
August 4, 2026
Netflix announced today that the next installment in Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's 'Monster' anthology, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, will premiere on September 17. The limited drama will star Ella Beatty as the series' first female 'monster.'
"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 to tudum.com. "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."
In the series, the repressed daughter of a wealthy New England family and her rebellious maid find themselves trapped in a house built on humiliation and cruelty, and 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.
