As a seasoned gamer who has binge-watched countless hours of crime dramas and anthologies, I must say that the recent developments in the Menendez brothers’ case have me hooked like never before. The potential return of Ryan Murphy’s Monsters series with new episodes featuring Lyle and Erik Menendez is a tantalizing prospect that I can hardly ignore.
As a devoted gamer, I’m always on the lookout for fresh content – especially when it comes to Ryan Murphy’s “Monster” anthology series. Though they’ve already greenlit a third season, the producer hinted at potential expansions for the just-concluded second season. While Charlie Hunnam is set to star in season 3 as Ed Gein, recent twists in the Menendez brothers’ case might lead to additional episodes or chapters for this gripping storyline.
On October 3rd, it was announced that Lyle and Erik Menendez will have a new court hearing scheduled for November 26th. This development could potentially lead to either a re-sentencing or a fresh trial for the brothers. This is the first significant update in their case in close to 30 years, following recent scrutiny on TikTok and the airing of “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” on Netflix in September.
Ryan Murphy teases potential new Monsters episodes
Ever since the popular release of the dramatized account of Lyle and Erik’s tale, known as “Murphy’s series,” there has been much for Murphy to discuss, particularly as it garnered both praise and criticism. In light of the Menendez brothers being granted a fresh court hearing, Murphy has hinted that he might be considering producing additional episodes of “Monsters” under one specific circumstance.
Here’s what the prolific producer told Variety about continuing the season:
I think what I would be interested in doing, if Nicholas [Alexander Chavez] and Cooper [Koch] would agree to do it, is maybe one or two episodes that continue the story.
Murphy has found himself swamped with a variety of fresh shows airing on various streaming platforms and networks this autumn, leaving some of his other projects temporarily on hold. Nevertheless, if Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch, the stars of Monsters, expressed interest in reprising their roles as Lyle and Erik Menendez, Murphy would be intrigued about crafting at least one new episode.
Currently, as I write this on October 4th, Netflix has not officially confirmed a continuation of the series. Murphy’s comments might have been made spontaneously in response to a question from the media outlet. Remarkably, for a scripted limited series, the possibility of filming additional episodes is unusual. Given the show’s popularity, it’s plausible that Netflix might be inclined to consider this option as well.
As a devoted viewer, I can’t help but share my excitement over the phenomenal performance of “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” in its first four days. With an astounding 12.3 million views under its belt, it may not have outshone the debut season of “Dahmer,” but it certainly left a lasting impression. In its initial week of availability, the season amassed an incredible 2.7 billion viewing minutes, demonstrating its undeniable appeal. And here’s the real kicker: two weeks post-release, it continues to hold its ground among the top three most-watched titles on Netflix. Simply put, this series is setting the bar high for true crime dramatizations!
Discussions surrounding the Menendez case have flourished in recent weeks following the airing of the Netflix series, with its lead actor Koch paying a visit to the brothers in prison, accompanied by Kim Kardashian. This media personality and aspiring actress has been vocal about her support for Lyle and Erik, asserting that they are not monsters and advocating for their potential release from their sentence.
As a gamer, I’ve got to say, the road that led us here, questioning old evidence and considering new angles, is something we can all debate about (and Murphy seems to have played a part). But now, the focus is on us in a way that feels like a win. A fresh documentary about the Menendez brothers, featuring their insights, is dropping on Netflix October 7. It’s safe to say this new release will keep the conversation going and potentially move our case forward.
We’ll need to observe if Murphy intends to proceed with making fresh episodes of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, or whether he might retract his earlier remarks and find another means to assist the brothers. It was mentioned that filming for season 3 of Monster was supposed to start in October 2024, and Murphy is currently preparing for the launch of other new productions as well. He definitely has the ability to do so.
