What happens in the Monsters trailer?
The trailer highlights the aftermath of José and Kitty Menendez’s gruesome deaths. Their sons, Lyle and Erik Menendez, immediately spend their inheritance by living lavish lifestyles, which resulted in them becoming the number one suspects in the murder of their parents. However, their trial took an even darker turn, after the shocking revelation of the brothers’ real relationship with their parents.
Monsters is co-created and executive produced by longtime collaborators Murphy and Ian Brennan, who are also both serving as co-writers. The second season will be led by Javier Bardem as José Menendez, Chloë Sevigny as Kitty Menendez, Cooper Koch as Erik Menendez, Nicholas Alexander Chavez as Lyle Menendez, Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne, and Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson. Additional cast members include Leslie Grossman, Dallas Roberts, Paul Adelstein, Jason Butler Harner, Enrique Murciano, Michael Gladis, Drew Powell, Charlie Hall, Gil Ozeri, Jeff Perry, Tessa Auberjonois, Tanner Stine, Larry Clarke, Jade Pettyjohn, Marlene Forte, and Vicki Lawrence.
“Season 2 chronicles the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Kitty Menendez,” reads the synopsis. “While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed – and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole – that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story dives into the historic case that took the world by storm, paved the way for audiences’ modern-day fascination with true crime, and in return asks those audiences: Who are the real monsters?”
