Much like its predecessor based on the infamous Jeffrey Dahmer, Ryan Murphy's follow-up, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, has also become a huge hit all around the globe. It has also effectively kickstarted the conversation about Erik and Lyle Menendez and about the possibility of the two being "not so guilty" for the double murder they committed.
After the series premiered and Lyle and Erik Menendez's story was back in the limelight, there have been cries about releasing the duo. If this happens, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story will reportedly be resurrected with bonus episodes, as per Ryan Murphy.
In a recent interview with Variety, Ryan Murphy confirmed that there have been discussions about bonus episodes for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Murphy confirmed they will make bonus episodes if the brothers are released from prison.

However, the possibility of new Monsters episodes solely depends on the real-life developments surrounding the case, making it a bleak prospect. However, if the case goes through more developments, there will likely be new episodes of this Ryan Murphy series.
What did Ryan Murphy say about the possibility of more episodes of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story?
Unlike Jeffrey Dahmer's story, this one had many grey areas, leading to significantly polarizing reactions across the world. One of the things this series has sparked is a debate about whether Lyle and Erik were victims of abuse and killed their parents to escape that cycle.
This has also raised the prospect of them being released from prison. Murphy revealed in his interview with Variety that if the case does see significant development, they will move forward with bonus episodes, as he believes the story of the Menendez Brothers was not over yet. Murphy elaborated:
"It's been discussed, I'll tell you that much. Everyone has been interested in that... I think everyone wants to see how this story ends because this story is not over."
Even if it's remote, the prospect of seeing more of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story remains a possibility.
Why were Erik and Lyle Menendez sent to prison?
Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of murdering their parents, José and Mary Louise "Kitty" Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home in 1989. They were charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances for lying in wait.
The brothers claimed that they killed their parents in self-defense after years of abuse. However, prosecutors alleged they did this to inherit their father's fortune, and they were ultimately found guilty of the crime.
The case has been the subject of much scrutiny over the years, but the latest Netflix adaptation of their story brought it back into the limelight after a period of dormancy, with questions rising over their real motivation.
It is yet to be seen how this newfound publicity helps or hinders the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez.
