Summary
Sept. 17 is the launch date for all eight episodes of "Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story," with Netflix also releasing first-look images from the anthology’s fourth season.
Ella Beatty leads the season as Lizzie Borden, who was tried and acquitted in the 1892 killings of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts.
The new installment marks the franchise’s first female "monster" and centers on female rage and repression, with Vicky Krieps, Rebecca Hall, Charlie Hunnam and Sarah Paulson among the cast.
Monster has become one of Netflix’s signature true-crime anthologies after seasons on Jeffrey Dahmer, the Menendez brothers and Ed Gein, though its dramatization of real crimes has also drawn criticism.
