The Netflix mega hit “Dahmer – Monster” was all about the infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Not only did he kill his male victims, but he also vented his cannibalistic and necrophiliac tendencies on them. In the end, Dahmer was then beaten to death with an iron bar by a fellow prison inmate.
It’s been known for a while that “Monster” is an anthology that covers a different case every season. The new season focuses on Erik and Lyle Menendez. Although the brothers are also murderers (they killed their parents), the case is much more complex. The jury concluded that they killed brothers to get their parents’ money. But the whole background is much more complex. You can read more about this in this article:
These actors will be Erik and Lyle Menendez
Like the will experienced Cooper Cook take on the role of Erik and embody Nicholas Alexander Chavez Lyle. While Koch has previously appeared in They/Them, Swallowed, Less Than Zero, and a few short films, you may recognize Chavez from General Hospital. The young actor even managed to win an Emmy for the best young actor in a drama series.
As with “Dahmer – Monster”, star producer Ryan Murphy is behind “Monster 2”. It is not yet clear when the miniseries will appear on Netflix. But one can probably assume 2024. Whether the success of “Dahmer” can repeat itself again remains to be seen. If anything, Netflix could hit the mark again here. A documentary about the Menendez brothers is also planned.
