Following the success of DAHMER, MONSTERS: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is the newest addition to Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monster” anthology series, chronicling the case of the real-life brothers convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Kitty Menendez. While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed - and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole - that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The show also stars Cooper Koch (Erik Menendez), Nicholas Alexander Chavez (Lyle Menendez), Nathan Lane (Dominick Dunne), Ari Graynor (Leslie Abramson).

00:00I'm going to need you to walk me through what happened.
00:09Part of this process is the two of you reconnecting, growing closer as brothers.
00:27Eric and I killed our parents together, so I'd say that makes us pretty close.
00:39They talk to us now, right?
00:40And they would be proud of us.

01:16Our life was one thing, and we decided we weren't going to take that anymore.
01:35Starting right now, we're going to demand more out of life, and we are never going to
01:45go back.
01:51You don't murder your parents that way.
01:57Literally defacing them.
02:00That's not about money.
