Netflix drops a tease for Ryan Murphy's next 'Monster' anthology: 'The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'

Netflix has debuted a teaser to Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story , producer Ryan Murphy 's follow-up to his Emmy-winning DAHMER Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story .

The tease starts with a simple title card to set up the story, as a car pulls up to a mansion: "On August 20, 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents."

The title characters are shown from behind striding toward the home, then entering it, with one of them holding a shotgun. As it fades, there's the sound of a rifle being racked and a pair of gunshots.

The tease also revealed the premiere date: Sept. 19.

Newcomers Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch portray Lyle and Erik Menendez; their parents, unseen in the teaser, are portrayed by Javier Bardem ( Jose ) and Chloë Sevigny ( Kitty ).

Nathan Lane also stars as investigative journalist Dominick Dunne , who covered the trials for Vanity Fair .

In real life, the brothers were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

DAHMER reached 1 billion view hours in its first 60 days on Netflix, making it only one of four series to achieve the milestone. The series went on to earn multiple awards, including a Best Actor trophy for lead Evan Peters and a Best Supporting Actress Emmy for Niecy Nash-Betts .
