Shortly after the immensely successful Ryan Murphy series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Netflix is now set to delve into the other side of the story with The Menendez Brothers. This new documentary promises to shed light on the events that led to Lyle and Erik Menendez killing their parents. It will also be the first time the general public hears the story from Lyle and Erik's perspective.
While Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story gained significant traction, many believed it did not accurately represent the events that led to the double murder. Lyle and Erik claimed that they had killed their parents out of fear. They claimed that they planned to expose their father's decades-long history of abuse, which would have prompted their father to kill them.
The official trailer for The Menendez Brothers dropped on September 23, and after the wide publicity from Monsters, many fans eagerly came forward to learn the real story behind the murders.
