Not only has production now kicked off on the fourth season of Monster, but Ed Gein star Charlie Hunnam has now also been confirmed as starring in the new Lizzie Borden-centred series.
As for the leading star in question, Lizzie will be played by Ella Beatty, who is the daughter of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty and also starred in Murphy's previous series Feud: Capote vs the Swans.
As of now, there's no confirmed release date for Monster season 4.
While the first season of Monster was released in 2022, the yearly release pattern has remained fairly consistent with season 2 being released in 2024 and season 3 being released in 2025. So, we'd expect Netflix wouldn't want to keep fans waiting too long for another series.
Who will star in Monster season 4?
Charlie Hunnam, who just led season 3 as Ed Gein, will be starring in season 4 as Lizzie's father Andrew while Rebecca Hall will be starring as his wife and Lizzie's stepmother Abby.
Barden's real-life husband, Max Winkler, directed Monster: The Ed Gein Story and is set to return as director of the first episode of the fourth season.
The confirmed cast list for Monster season 4 is as follows.

Whereas in previous seasons, the subjects have been found guilty of their crimes, Lizzie was actually tried and acquitted of the axe murders of her father and stepmother, which took place in Fall Rivers, Massachusetts.
On the morning of 4th August 1892, Andrew and Abby were found murdered in their home. Lizzie discovered her father, who had been napping on the sofa, and alerted Bridget the maid. Once they searched the house, they also found Abby in an upstairs bedroom. It became clear that the pair had been murdered and mutilated with an axe.
The week between the murders and Lizzie's arrest, she burned a dress which she had claimed had been stained with paint. Prosecutors later alleged that it wasn't paint but blood on the dress, which Lizzie had allegedly burnt in order to destroy evidence.
Lizzie and Emma had inherited a major portion of Andrew's estate and had lived together for another 10 years before Emma abruptly moved out in 1905, with the pair never speaking again afterwards. It was said that the rift was caused by Lizzie throwing a party for her friend and actress Nance O'Neil. While details of the sisters' falling out have never been known, there was plenty of gossip surrounding Lizzie and Nance at the time due to the close nature of their friendship.
As for what the new season of Monster will focus on and what theories about the unsolved murders it may expand on, we'll just have to wait and see.
In the interview, Murphy cited Countess Elizabeth Báthory, "a Hungarian noble accused of torture and murder at the turn of the 17th century, and Aileen Wuornos, executed for serial murder in 2002".
He went on: “There’s many different monsters that float through the season. This has the same approach: Profiling famous women who have been labeled as one thing, and we ask the question: Really, do you think so?”
