Netflix has released a brand new trailer, and first look teaser, for their upcoming anthology crime drama ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ which will see all episodes premier on September 19th.
According to the official synopsis: “Following the success of DAHMER, MONSTERS: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is the newest addition to Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s “Monster” anthology series, chronicling the case of the real-life brothers convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Kitty Menendez. While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed – and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole – that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The show also stars Cooper Koch (Erik Menendez), Nicholas Alexander Chavez (Lyle Menendez), Nathan Lane (Dominick Dunne), Ari Graynor (Leslie Abramson).”
Cooper Koch and Nicholas Alexander Chavez star alongside Chloë Sevigny and Javier Bardem as well as Paul Adelstein as David Conn, Jason Butler Harner as Det. Les Zoeller, Enrique Murciano as Carlos Baralt, Michael Gladis as Tim Rutten, Drew Powell as Det. Tom Linehan, Charlie Hall as Craig Cignarelli, Gil Ozeri as Dr. William Vicary, Jeff Perry as Peter Hoffman, Tessa Auberjonois as Dr. Laurel Oziel, Tanner Stine as Perry Berman, Larry Clarke as Brian Andersen, Jade Pettyjohn as Jamie Pisarcik, Marlene Forte as Marta Cano, and Vicki Lawrence as Leigh.
The series focuses on the moment on August 20th, 1989 when Lyle (Chavez) and Erik (Koch) walked into the den of their family’s Beverly Hills mansion and fatally shot their parents in a story that dominated news and media thereafter.
