The first season of the anthology series, DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, stars Evan Peters as Dahmer and Niecey Nash as Glenda Cleveland, and tells the story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The record-breaking first iteration of Murphy and Ian Brennan’s anthology reached 1 billion hours of viewing in its first 60 days, making it one of only four series to achieve this milestone. The show is currently the third most popular Netflix English language series. 

Following the massive success of DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Netflix ordered two additional installments of the record-breaking anthology series from Murphy and Brennan. The second season, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, coming to Netflix Sept. 19, chronicles the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez. Monsters stars Javier Bardem as José Menendez, Chloë Sevigny as Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, Cooper Koch as Erik Menendez, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez as Lyle Menendez.

Production on the third season begins next month.
