Overview

• All episodes begin streaming on Oct. 3 at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT, with local release times set across regions.
• The third Monster season arrives as a single eight-episode drop from creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan.
• Charlie Hunnam leads the cast with Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander, Vicky Krieps, Lesley Manville, Olivia Williams, Joey Pollari, and Addison Rae.
• Hunnam prepared using a roughly 70-minute recording made after Gein’s arrest and later visited Gein’s grave to close out the role.
• Netflix positions the drama as a psychological and cultural study of Gein’s legacy in works like Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs, as debate continues over sensationalism.
