Netflix's 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' Explores Notorious Family Murders

The series examines the Menendez brothers' brutal 1989 killings of their parents and the subsequent trials that captivated the nation.

The Netflix series, created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, stars Nicholas Chavez and Cooper Koch as Lyle and Erik Menendez, respectively.
The Menendez brothers were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Kitty Menendez, in their Beverly Hills home.
The show delves into whether the brothers were motivated by greed or were victims of long-term abuse by their parents.
Key figures in the series include Javier Bardem as José Menendez, Chloë Sevigny as Kitty Menendez, and Ari Graynor as defense attorney Leslie Abramson.
New evidence in 2023, including a letter and an affidavit, has sparked renewed interest in the case and calls for a new trial.
