All 10 episodes of the second installment - titled Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - will be available on Thursday, September 19.
The new season chronicles the case of real-life brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez. 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.
The series 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?
The season stars Javier Bardem as José Menendez; Chloë Sevigny as Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez; Nicholas Alexander Chavez as Lyle Menendez; Cooper Koch as Erik Menendez; Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne; and Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson.
Additional cast include Leslie Grossman, Dallas Roberts, Paul Adelstein, Jason Butler Harner, Enrique Murciano, Michael Gladis, Drew Powell, Charlie Hall,m Gil Ozeri, Jeff Perry, Tessa Auberjonois, Tanner Stine, Larry Clarke, Jade Pettyjohn and Marlene Forte.
Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan developed the series. They executive produce with Bardem, Alexis Martin Woodall, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, David McMillan, Louise Shore and Carl Franklin. 20th Television, Ryan Murphy Productions and Prospect Films produce.
