Overview

• All eight episodes will launch globally on Netflix on October 3, with Charlie Hunnam starring as Ed Gein and also serving as an executive producer.
• First-look posters show Hunnam in character, including imagery that nods to Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs.
• Some commentators questioned the marketing’s accuracy, noting a chainsaw visual does not align with documented details of Gein’s murders.
• Laurie Metcalf plays Augusta Gein, Tom Hollander portrays Alfred Hitchcock and Olivia Williams appears as Alma Reville, with Suzanna Son, Vicky Krieps and Lesley Manville among the ensemble.
• Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy created and executive produce the season, Brennan writes and directs two episodes, and Max Winkler directs the remaining six; a Lizzie Borden-focused Season 4 is in development with Ella Beatty attached.
