Developments: 9. In early August 2026, Netflix issued a dual announcement. It confirmed that the science‑fiction adaptation of Liu Cixin’s ‘The Three‑Body Problem’ trilogy will receive additional seasons covering all three novels—‘The Three‑Body Problem’, ‘The Dark Forest’, and ‘Death’s End’—with production slated to begin though no premiere date was set. The same release also revealed the fourth season of the true‑crime anthology ‘Monster,’ titled ‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story,’ scheduled to debut on 17 September 2026. Following the initial announcement, Netflix provided detailed briefings on the Lizzie Borden season, outlining an eight‑episode format directed by Max Winkler and Sarah Adina Smith, and created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. The cast features Ella Beatty as Lizzie Borden, Vicky Krieps as maid Bridget Sullivan, Charlie Hunnam as Andrew Borden, and Rebecca Hall as Abby Borden, with additional cast members including Billie Lourd, Joey Pollari, Sarah Paulson, and Jessica Barden. On 11 August 2026, Netflix released a teaser featuring an eerie nursery rhyme, followed by the first trailer and promotional materials. By 19 August 2026, new trailer footage and first‑look images were released, highlighting the 1892 axe murders in Fall River, Massachusetts. The promotional materials revealed a thematic connection involving Sarah Paulson, who appears as serial killer Aileen Wuornos; the series depicts Wuornos as being influenced by the legacy of the Borden case, linking the two figures through shared narratives of rebellion and violence. On 24 August 2026, further details emerged regarding the series, which follows previous installments focused on Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein. Netflix described this new season as the most ‘wild’ iteration of the anthology to date, noting that the production explores themes of power, revenge, and the social constraints of New England society during the era. ## Claims - Netflix will release Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story on September 17, 2026.
