First Teaser Trailer For ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ On Netflix Released

Buy Me A Coffee

Ryan Murphy is back, and this time, he’s bringing Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story to your screens โ€“ and trust me, this one’s going to be wilder than a soap opera written by a toddler whoโ€™s just chugged five cans of Red Bull.

The first teaser trailer has just dropped, and letโ€™s just say it has enough drama to make a reality show look like a relaxing yoga session. The Menendez brothers, Lyle and Erik, are played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch โ€“ who, if the casting is anything to go by, are probably too handsome to be involved in anything sinister. But hey, thatโ€™s Hollywood for you. Also starring in the madness are none other than Javier Bardem and Chloรซ Sevigny, who play their parents, Josรฉ and Kitty Menendez. Yes, you read that right: Bardem, Mr. Intense Eyes himself, is about to channel his inner strict dad. Someone, please, get him a cardigan.

The cast list doesnโ€™t stop there. Youโ€™ve got Nathan Lane, Leslie Grossman, and Ari Graynor all joining the chaotic party. Honestly, itโ€™s like they decided to throw a celebrity potluck but forgot it was a true crime series. At this point, I’m expecting the guest list to include Batman and a couple of Avengers.

Now, the plot. And oh boy, itโ€™s juicier than a gossip column at the Oscars. According to Netflixโ€™s own Tudum (the sound it makes when you binge-watch just one more episode), the series follows the infamous Menendez brothers, who, in 1989, decided to solve their family issues the only way the rich know howโ€”by doing something that winds up on Netflix years later. After fatally shooting their parents, the brothers claimed they were victims of years of abuse. The prosecutors, of course, were all like, โ€œNah, bro, you just wanted that sweet, sweet family fortune.โ€ And honestly, if I had a dollar for every time someone said, โ€œNo, really, itโ€™s about the trauma,โ€ Iโ€™d have my own Beverly Hills mansion by now.

Oh, and in case you were wondering if this sounds vaguely familiar, yes, itโ€™s all based on a true story. Because if thereโ€™s one thing Hollywood loves more than recycling superhero franchises, itโ€™s a โ€œbased on true eventsโ€ crime story.

Set your reminders, because Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story drops on Netflix on Thursday, September 19. If youโ€™re looking for something to watch thatโ€™ll make your familyโ€™s Thanksgiving dinner drama look like a cakewalk, this oneโ€™s for you.
