For those who were swayed by Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, there is good news from Ryan Murphy in the form of another upcoming true crime retelling, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The latter, which will focus on the Menéndez brothers, is a supposed follow-up to the brilliant Evan Peters-led show, which managed to break several records during its time at the top on Netflix.

The Mendez brothers, not as notorious as the infamous Jeffrey Dahmer, were convicted in 1996 of the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menéndez, who they reportedly murdered out of fear. José reportedly put the brothers through years of s*xual and physical abuse before they took this drastic step.

While it was initially unclear whether Ryan Murphy planned to expand the series into an anthology, it has now been confirmed that Netflix and the director may continue to shed light on many such crime stories under the banner of "Monster." Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is still quite far away and not much detail is available right now.

The announcement from Netflix was enough to generate a massive amount of interest in Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, especially after the resounding success of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which became one of Netflix's all-time most popular shows.

As this will be an anthology, much like FX's American Crime Story, many fans have already questioned whether the supposed series will feature a cameo or post-credit scene featuring Evan Peters' Jeffrey Dahmer. Of course, most of these reactions are based on humor.
