Second season of Monster, one of Netflix’s most successful series, is expected to be released later this year.

Titled Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the first season depicted the life of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, portrayed by actor Evan Peters, and how he became one of the most notorious serial killers in the USA, targeting victims between 1978 and 1991.
The series, launched in 2022, dramatizes aspects of Dahmer’s life, such as moments when he was almost caught before finally being arrested. The series was very successful, and fans became even more excited when the second season was announced last year, now focusing on another serial killer.
The second season of the production, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, will be called Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, examining yet another highly publicized case that plagued the USA in the 1990s.
Lyle and Erik Menendez became known in 1989 as suspects in a case where their parents were murdered. The two shot their parents, José and Mary Louise Menendez, to death in their home in Beverly Hills, California.
In court, the duo cited years of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse as the reason for their actions, but the prosecution argued they did it only to secure their share of the family fortune. Both were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
On social media, fans were excited about the announcement. “We need more shows like Monster,” said one user on X (Twitter). “The second season is about the Menendez brothers. I hope the third season will be [about] John Gacy, and the fourth season [about] Ted Bundy,” commented another internet user.
