Overview

  • The new Monster season reached 12.2 million views in its first three days, according to Netflix’s latest charts.
  • The series narrowly missed the No. 1 spot as Wayward posted 14.1 million views in its second week globally.
  • Its early tally sits just below last year’s Menendez season, which logged 12.3 million views over a slightly longer initial reporting window.
  • Charlie Hunnam stars as Ed Gein in a season that examines the killer’s real crimes and their influence on iconic horror characters.
  • Creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan emphasize Gein’s cultural legacy, with dramatized portrayals of Alfred Hitchcock (Tom Hollander) and Tobe Hooper (Will Brill), and the show blends documented facts with invented elements.
