Ryan Murphy’s controversial true crime anthology series, Monster, has been renewed for a third season on Netflix, and The Original Monster is tackling the terrifying case of Ed Gein. Launching in 2022 with Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the series highlights a notorious true crime story from American history each season, and dramatizes real-life events with Murphy’s signature over-the-top style. Season 1 was a smash-hit for Netflix, and though it garnered a fair amount of jeers for its tasteless content, a second season followed in 2024 that told the story of Erik and Lyle Menendez.
