Earlier this month, we were treated to our best look yet at Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan's (American Horror Story: 13) anthology series, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, set to hit Netflix on September 17th. Though Ella Beatty's Borden will be the focus, Murphy has previously shared that the season will also spotlight the history of other female killers – for example, Sarah Paulson is reportedly set to play serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was sentenced to death for six of the murders that she was charged with and executed in 2002. On Tuesday, Murphy, Brennan, and the streaming service upped their game by offering an official teaser for the anthology series' return (waiting for you above).
When the repressed daughter of a wealthy New England family and her rebellious maid find themselves trapped in a house built on humiliation and cruelty, they escape into a fantasy of sex, power, and revenge. The gruesome unsolved murders that follow don't just shock the world – they give birth to an icon who refuses to live imprisoned in a cage, choosing instead to forge her own legend: shocking, monstrous, and gloriously free. Murphy and Brennan's groundbreaking anthology series returns with its fourth and wildest installment yet. Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story tells the story of how one young woman changed what the world believed a killer could be. All it took was an axe.
The season stars Ella Beatty (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, If I Had Legs I'd Kick You) as Lizzie Borden; Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Monster: The Ed Gein Story) as Bridget Sullivan, the Bordens' live-in maid; Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Sons of Anarchy) as Andrew Borden, Lizzie's father; Rebecca Hall (Christine, Passing) as Abby Borden, Lizzie's stepmother; Billie Lourd (American Horror Story, The Last Showgirl) as Emma, Lizzie's older sister; Jessica Barden (The End of the F***ing World, Dune: Prophecy) as Nance O'Neil, an actor friend of Lizzie's.
