Summary
Netflix released the first 56-second trailer for "Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story," showing Ella Beatty’s blood-covered Lizzie Borden in the latest chapter of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s anthology.
The clip leans on the "Lizzie Borden took an ax" rhyme, opening on an empty stage and piano before ending with implied axe blows and a stunned Lizzie.
Ella Beatty leads the cast as the franchise’s first female "monster," alongside Vicky Krieps, Rebecca Hall and Charlie Hunnam; Billie Lourd, Sarah Paulson and Jessica Barden also appear.
The official logline frames the story around a repressed daughter and a rebellious maid escaping a cruel household into fantasies of sex, power and revenge before the unsolved murders that make Lizzie an icon.
All 8 episodes debut on Netflix on Sept. 17, with Max Winkler and Sarah Adina Smith directing.
