Overview

• Netflix released first-look posters and confirmed a global Oct. 3, 2025 launch for the third Monster installment.
• Charlie Hunnam plays Ed Gein and also serves as an executive producer alongside Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, Max Winkler, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, Nissa Diederich, Louise Shore and Carl Franklin.
• The official synopsis links Gein’s 1950s crimes to horror touchstones including Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs.
• Cast highlights include Laurie Metcalf as Augusta Gein, Tom Hollander as Alfred Hitchcock and Olivia Williams as Alma Reville, with Vicky Krieps and Lesley Manville among the ensemble.
• Brennan writes the season and directs two episodes, while Winkler directs six, as early coverage notes striking marketing imagery that some critics say risks blurring fact and fiction.
