Ryan Murphy teases new Monsters episodes if Menendez brothers are released from prison

As a long-time fan of true crime narratives and Ryan Murphy’s gripping storytelling, I must confess that the ongoing saga of Monsters: The Menendez Brothers has become a rollercoaster ride of emotions for me. The series, while captivating, left me feeling somewhat uneasy due to its controversial depictions, especially given Erik Menendez’s public statements against it.


As a devoted fan, I can’t help but feel my heart race again when Ryan Murphy hinted at potential further installments for his contentious series, Monsters: The Menendez Brothers. It seems the storm surrounding this production isn’t quite over yet!

The series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” was a streaming hit, but viewer opinion quickly soured due to its suggestive portrayal of incestuous themes. Creator Ryan Murphy justified this depiction as part of his creative duty, despite Erik Menendez’s criticism from prison.

If the brothers receive a lighter sentence or are released from prison, we could potentially see more episodes being produced in the future.

Murphy shared some insights, revealing at least a part of the discussion [as reported by Variety]. There’s been widespread curiosity about it, and many are eagerly waiting to find out what happens next, as this narrative still has unresolved chapters.

Previously, Murphy hinted that there might be additional episodes, but only if the original cast members Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch agree to reprise their roles.

Ever since “Monsters” premiered, the siblings’ accusations about sexual and emotional mistreatment at the hands of their parents have resurfaced once more.

On the 16th of October (Wednesday), family members of Erik and Lyle, accompanied by their lawyer, Mark Geragos, convened a press meeting outside the Los Angeles Court House, appealing for their freedom.

Following the announcement by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón that his office will review the case, there’s a possibility that the brothers may face re-sentencing or even a fresh trial. This decision is set to be made public towards the end of November.

Earlier this month, Murphy received further criticism for telling The Hollywood Reporter, “The Menendez brothers should be sending me flowers. They haven’t had so much attention in 30 years.”
