Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

MONSTERS: THE LYLE AND ERIK MENENDEZ STORY is a 2024 true crime limited series from the creators of Dahmer.

On August 20, 1989, José and Kitty Menendez were brutally murdered in their Beverly Hills home. 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? The series explores the complex dynamics within the Menendez family, and whether the brothers were troubled individuals acting out of fear and desperation due to years of abuse, or calculating killers driven by financial gain and greed.

The cast includes Javier Bardem (José Menendez), Chloë Sevigny (Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez), Cooper Koch (Erik Menendez), Nicholas Alexander Chavez (Lyle Menendez), Nathan Lane (Dominick Dunne), and Ari Graynor (Leslie Abramson).
