MONSTERS The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - Plot Synopsis: Following the massive success of Dahmer, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology series returns with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, chronicling the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “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 - their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, sexual abuse at the hands of their parents. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story dives into the historic case that took the world by storm, paved the way for audiences’ modern-day fascination with true crime, and in return asks those audiences: Who are the real monsters? Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story is a true crime series created by TV creators / writers Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. With writing by Ryan Murphy, David McMillan, Todd Kubrak, Ian Brennan, and Reilly Smith. And episodes directed by Ian Brennan, Max Winkler, Paris Barclay, Michael Uppendahl, & Carl Franklin. Executive produced by Murphy, Brennan, Eric Kovtun, Alexis Martin Woodall, Scott Robertson, David McMillan, Louise Shore, Carl Franklin, Javier Bardem. Netflix will debut Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story streaming on Netflix starting September 19th, 2024 this fall.
