Netflix is preparing to release ‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’, the fourth installment of the ‘Monster’ crime anthology series created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The production focuses on the 1892 axe murders of Andrew and Abby Borden in Fall River, Massachusetts.

While the historical Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the crimes, the series is described as a “creative interpretation of the case” that explores themes of female repression and revenge. The ensemble cast includes Ella Beatty, Vicky Krieps, and Charlie Hunnam. The series is scheduled to premiere on September 17, 2026.
