Monster: Lizzie Borden Story Tops 10-Season Plan for Netflix’s True-Crime Saga
Netflix’s Monster creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan reveal Lizzie Borden won season four after testing other subjects, and they’re planning a 10-season run for the true-crime anthology. The season will form a “triptych” with Elizabeth Bathory and Aileen Wuornos to explore female rage, with Ella Beatty as Lizzie, Vicky Krieps as Bathory (in flashback), and Sarah Paulson as Wuornos. The approach blends research with creative liberties to tell fuller, more contemporary stories, front-loads the murders, and continues expanding the Monster universe, with a Watcher season 2 teased for the future.
