The Menendez Brothers Take Family Drama to New Extremes in ‘Monsters’ Trailer


Netflix has released the first trailer for Ryan Murphy's upcoming series about the Menendez Brothers, 'Monsters.'

Excess, violence, and the kind of family psychodrama that would make Sigmund Freud’s eyes pop — yes, the first full trailer for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is here. The new series from Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennen will dig into the infamous Nineties true crime story, in which brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez shot and killed their parents, José and Kitty, at the family’s home in Beverly Hills. Most prominently, there’s the media circus that sprang up around the brothers’ trial, which became a sensation while airing on Court TV, but also Erik and Lyle’s eventual defense that they killed their parents after suffering years of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
