“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” is Arriving on Netflix

“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” is the latest addition to true-crime anthology series from Netflix created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. Building on the success of “Dahmer”, this new installment, premiering globally on September 19, 2024, dives into one of the most infamous criminal cases in American history. The show will explore the 1989 murders of José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez by their sons, Lyle and Erik. While the prosecution claimed the brothers were motivated by financial gain, the Menendez brothers have consistently maintained that their actions were the result of enduring years of abuse at the hands of their parents.

This series revisits the trial that captivated the nation in the 1990s, setting a precedent for modern true-crime fascination. The brothers were convicted of first-degree murder in 1996 and sentenced to life without parole. “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” goes deeper into their defense, which alleged years of psychological, emotional, and sexual abuse. As with “Dahmer”, Murphy’s approach will aim to stir conversations about justice, trauma, and the sensationalism surrounding criminal cases.

TV SHOWS

The cast includes some major talents, with Javier Bardem playing José Menendez and Chloë Sevigny as Kitty Menendez. Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch portray Lyle and Erik Menendez. Other notable stars include Nathan Lane as journalist Dominick Dunne and Ari Graynor as the brothers’ defense attorney, Leslie Abramson.

While the series is expected to be as chilling and gripping as its predecessor, it also presents an opportunity to scrutinize the role of media in high-profile trials. In the 90s, the Menendez case became a televised spectacle, and Murphy’s series will likely reflect on how that shaped public perception of the brothers’ guilt and the broader discussion on family abuse.

This case also stands out for the polarizing reactions it elicited from the public. For some, Lyle and Erik’s defense of self-protection resonated deeply, while others saw the murders as cold-blooded acts driven by greed. As with many true-crime stories, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” from Netflix will raise difficult questions about culpability, victimhood, and how we, as an audience, relate to such narratives.
