Ryan Murphy Might Make More ‘Monsters’ Episodes if the Menendez Brothers are Freed

Ryan Murphy said there have been discussions about making some 'Monsters' bonus episodes if Erik and Lyle Menendez are freed.

Ryan Murphy said he and the creative team behind Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story have considered shooting new bonus episodes if the brothers are able to secure release from prison. Several of the brothers’ relatives echoed this at the press conference this week, including Kitty’s 92-year-old sister, Joan Andersen VanderMolen, who said, “Their actions, while tragic, were the desperate response of two boys trying to survive the unspeakable.” Erik issued a statement through his wife, Tammi, that said the show offered a “dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime.” Meanwhile, lawyer Mark Geragos said at this week’s press conference that Monsters presented a “caricature” of the brothers that “so inflamed the people who were supportive” that the “backlash is what was helpful.”
