A New Trailer For ‘Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story’ Released Showing The Murder Of The Boys’ Parents

The newest chapter in the “Monsters” series is here, and it’s about to get wilder than a soap opera binge at 3 a.m. “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” just dropped its trailer, and let’s just say… it’s juicier than your Aunt Karen’s gossip at Thanksgiving.

In this latest Ryan Murphy production (because the man doesn’t sleep, apparently), we’re introduced to two fresh-faced lads: Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch, who play the charming Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik. You know, those guys who thought, “What’s the best way to avoid doing chores? Oh yeah, maybe just eliminate the parents entirely.” Classic sibling logic, right? Who hasn’t wanted to borrow the family fortune along with Dad’s car keys?

But wait—this isn’t your average episode of Family Feud. No, this family takes “disagreement” to a whole new level. Their real-life parents are played by the swoon-worthy Javier Bardem (because even when he’s playing a victim, he’s Javier Bardem, for crying out loud) and the ever-fabulous Chloë Sevigny, who, let’s face it, would probably look chic even while dodging bullets.

Of course, in true Ryan Murphy style, we’ve got a star-studded ensemble cast here. You’ll see Nathan Lane, probably wondering why his character didn’t just book a vacation during all this madness, and Leslie Grossman, who is likely somewhere in the background delivering killer one-liners while everyone else is, well, literally killing.

Now, if you missed the Menendez brothers’ totally chill family drama back in the ‘80s (honestly, who was watching the news when you could’ve been perfecting your mall bangs?), here’s the rundown: These brothers decided that the ultimate sibling bonding experience was, um, shooting their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion. They claimed years of abuse as their reasoning, but prosecutors were all, “Nah, you just wanted the cash.” And thus, courtroom TV was never the same again.

So buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of family dysfunction, courtroom theatrics, and probably a few moments where you’ll scream, “Did that actually happen?” Spoiler alert: Yes. Yes, it did. It’s all based on true events, because Ryan Murphy lives for that “truth is stranger than fiction” vibe.

Get your popcorn (or maybe something stronger), because “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” drops on Netflix Thursday, September 19. Don’t worry, you’ve got time to prepare emotionally. Or, at the very least, make sure your family group chat doesn’t go off during the wildest parts.

Watch the trailer below, but be warned—you’ll never look at sibling rivalry the same way again.
