Netflix has released another teaser trailer for Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s upcoming murder drama series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is the second installment of Murphy‘s true crime anthology series, Monsters, which debuted in 2022 with the chilling story of serial murderer Jeffrey Dahmer, starring Evan Peters.

The show will tell the true crime story of the 1996 conviction of the Menendez brothers for the murders of their parents. The project stars Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch as Lyle and Erik Menendez, while José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez will be played by Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny.

In the court case, despite the prosecution’s argument that Lyle and Erik Menendez killed their parents to inherit their family estate, the brothers claimed that they acted out of fear after years of being physically, emotionally and sexually abused. They maintain their claims today while serving life sentences without parole.

The cast also includes Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne, Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson, Leslie Grossman as Judalon Smyth, Dallas Roberts as Dr. Jerome Oziel, Paul Adelstein as David Conn, and Jason Butler Harner as detective Les Zoeller.

They are joined by Enrique Murciano as Carlos Baralt, Michael Gladis as Tim Rutten, Drew Powell as detective Tom Linehan, Charlie Hall as Craig Cignarelli, Gil Ozeri as Dr. William Vicary, Jeff Perry as Peter Hoffman, Tessa Auberjonois as Dr. Laurel Oziel, Tanner Stine as Perry Berman, Larry Clarke as Brian Andersen, Jade Pettyjohn as Jamie Pisarcik and Marlene Forte as Marta Cano.

Directors on the series include Brennan, Franklin, Max Winkler, Paris Barclay and Michael Uppendahl, while writers include Murphy, Brennan, David McMillan, Todd Kubrak and Reilly Smith.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story will premiere on Netflix on September 19.
