Charlie Hunnam will return for Monster Season 4, but not how anyone expected

Viewers are loving Charlie Hunnam’s performance as Ed Gein in the Netflix series, and he’ll be back for a fourth season of *Monster*, though his role will be different than before.

The third season of the Netflix series *Monster* sparked debate after its release due to its portrayal of Gein, a serial killer who heavily influenced iconic horror films such as *Psycho* and *The Texas Chainsaw Massacre*.

Viewers criticized the true crime series for portraying Ed Gein, a notorious killer who robbed graves and crafted objects from human remains, in a way that seemed to celebrate him. Actor Charlie Hunnam responded by saying the show aimed to portray Gein truthfully and without embellishment.

Despite the recent experience, the British actor is still working with Ryan Murphy and will be back for Season 4 of ‘Monster’.

Charlie Hunnam will play Lizzie Borden’s father in Monster Season 4

For some time now, there have been whispers that Season 4 of ‘Monster’ will tell the story of Lizzie Borden, the woman famously accused of killing her father and stepmother with an axe back in 1892.

Netflix has cast Ella Beatty as Lizzie Borden’s daughter, joining Charlie Hunnam who will play her father, Andrew Borden. Production on Season 4 of ‘Monster’ is currently underway in Los Angeles, but the premiere date hasn’t been revealed yet.

Rebecca Hall will play Abby Borden, the stepmother who was murdered with Borden’s father. Vicky Krieps joins the cast as Bridget Sullivan, the maid who was a key witness during the trial. Krieps is known to fans of the ‘Monster’ series for her role as Ilse Koch, a Nazi war criminal featured in Gein’s visions during Season 3.

Following the success of MONSTER, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan are back with a new season focusing on the infamous Lizzie Borden. Ella Beatty will portray Borden in this installment, which is currently being filmed in Los Angeles. The cast also includes Charlie Hunnam, Vicky Krieps, Rebecca Hall, and Billie Lourd.
