Here's What Monster Creator Ryan Murphy Actually Said About A Potential Luigi Mangione TV Drama

Monster actor Charlie Hunnam with the show's creator Ryan MurphyFor the past few days, you may well have seen oneor twoheadlinesindicating that TV super-producer Ryan Murphy is considering Luigi Mangione as a potential future subject of his true crime anthology series Monster.Earlier this week, Variety published an interview with the Emmy winner about the upcoming third season of his award-winning Netflix drama, which will focus on the notorious serial killer Ed Gein this time around.During the conversation, Murphy defended his show from accusations that it’s “exploitative”, insisting he instead hopes to “provoke the question” about society with each season about a different societal theme, using various real-life murder cases to do so.He also ruled out future seasons about John Wayne Gacy (“there’s nothing redemptive there?”) and Ted Bundy (“when you look at those crimes, what are the themes there? It doesn’t ask you any questions about society”), which is when the subject of Magione was then raised.So, what did he actually say?Luigi Mangione in December 2024Well, speaking to the US outlet, Murphy revealed that he and his team “have a ‘maybe one day’ file” of ideas for future seasons of Monster that “just aren’t ready yet”.He then said that one such concept would be a season about Magione, the 27-year-old who is currently in police custody, accused of fatally shooting Brian Thompson, the CEO of the American health insurance organisation UnitedHealthcare.According to Variety, Murphy quickly dismissed the idea of focussing on Mangione after he, in their words “deemed it too early to proceed”.“We know nothing about him,” the Emmy winner pointed out.Monster: The Ed Gein Story will debut on Netflix on Friday 3 October, with a fourth run of the controversial show already in production.The next iteration will be the first to centre around a female killer, with Ella Beatty set to reunite with Ryan Murphy for the new series, which she’ll lead as Lizzie Borden, sharing the screen with other Murphy-verse alum including Billie Lourd and Vicky Krieps.Rebecca Hall and British performer Jessica Barden will also be part of the cast of the show, which Netflix said will tell the story of “the infamous young woman accused of murdering her parents with an axe”.READ MORE:Charlie Hunnam Reacts To Claims That Monster Season 3 Lets Serial Killer Ed Gein 'Off The Hook'Pose Star Indya Moore Calls Out Show's Creator Ryan Murphy For 'Silence' On Transgender IssuesMonsters Creator Ryan Murphy Raises Eyebrows With Latest Comments About The Menéndez Brothers
