Ryan Murphy Announces New “Monster” Season Starring Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein

“Sons of Anarchy” alum takes center stage in the latest installment of the Netflix anthology series

Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind hit series like “American Horror Story” and “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” has once again shocked audiences with a major announcement. At the premiere of Netflix’s “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” Murphy revealed that the third season of his acclaimed anthology series will delve into the chilling tale of Ed Gein, the infamous serial killer known as the “Butcher of Plainfield.”

The upcoming season, which will star “Sons of Anarchy” alum Charlie Hunnam in the lead role, promises to explore the disturbing life and crimes of Gein, a real-life figure who inspired countless horror films and characters. While specific details about the writers and plot remain under wraps, Murphy’s announcement has sent fans into a frenzy as they anticipate another dark and twisted exploration of true crime.

This marks the second installment of the “Monster” series, following the highly successful “Dahmer” which quickly became one of Netflix’s most popular shows. Gein, like Dahmer, was a real-life serial killer whose horrifying acts left a lasting impact on the world. His crimes, including the murder of two women and the exhumation of bodies from graveyards, have fascinated and repulsed audiences for decades.

As Murphy continues to expand his horror and true crime empire, “Monster: The Ed Gein Story” promises to be another gripping and unsettling addition to his growing body of work. Fans can expect a deep dive into the mind of a notorious killer, brought to life by a talented cast led by Charlie Hunnam.
