Will Monster Get A Season 4 After The Ed Gein Story? Here's What We Know

Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein in the latest season of MonsterMonster might be one of Netflix’s most polarising originals in history – but that certainly hasn’t stopped viewers from tuning in.The first two seasons of Ryan Murphy’s true crime anthology series proved to be huge hits for the streaming giant, telling the shocking stories of Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menéndez Brothers.A third iteration premiered at the beginning of October, featuring Charlie Hunnam in the lead role of serial killer Ed Gein, and looks set to be just as popular with Netflix users.Arguably the grisliest season of Monsters to date, the new series explores some of the horrific and violent crimes committed by Gein in his lifetime, as well as the world’s fascination with them, and their impact on Hollywood, inspiring films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho.Those strong enough of constitution to have already finished the season might now be wondering if a fourth iteration is in the pipeline, and to those fans, we have an update we think you’re going to like…?Will there be a season 4 of Monster on Netflix?Charlie Hunnam is tipped to return for the next iteration of Monster after taking the lead in the third seasonA fourth run of Monster is already confirmed to be in the works – and it will be markedly different from the first three instalments in a number of ways.While so far Monster has so far focussed on murders committed in the 20th century, the next instalment is jumping back in history to the 1800s, telling the story of Lizzie Borden, who was accused (and acquitted) of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe.This also marks the first time that a season of Monster has centred around a female protagonist.Who is in the cast of Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story so far?Ryan Murphy has been known to have something of a penchant for casting so-called “nepo babies” in his projects, as well as those he’s worked with already on other projects.His new Monster lead Ella Beatty ticks both of those boxes – not only is she the daughter of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, she also recently appeared in the second season of Feud, another show produced by the Emmy-winning showrunner.Ella Beatty pictured in June 2025Vicky Krieps is also set to return to Monster for the new season as Lizzie’s maid Bridget Kripes, having previously appeared in the The Ed Gein Story, while Rebecca Hall is due to play Lizzie’s stepmother.Murphy-verse album Billie Lourd will star as Lizzie’s sister Emma, with Variety reporting that Charlie Hunnam will be back for the new season as her dad, Andrew Borden.What has Ryan Murphy said about other future seasons of Monster?Charlie Hunnam and Ryan Murphy at the premiere of Monster: The Ed Gein StoryThe Glee creator is clearly keen to keep the Monster brand going, having already dove deep into the horror genre on the likes of Grotesquerie, The Watcher, Ratched and, of course, American Horror Story.During a recent interview with Variety, he ruled out the possibility of creating seasons around John Wayne Gacy or Ted Bundy, admitting he and his team do have a “′maybe one day’ file” for ideas that “just aren’t ready yet”.One of these is, apparently, Luigi Mangione, 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.He’s also expressed interest in returning to the Menéndez Brothers’ story, if there are any further developments in their case.The first three seasons of Monster are now streaming on Netflix.READ MORE:Charlie Hunnam Reacts To Claims That Monster Season 3 Lets Serial Killer Ed Gein 'Off The Hook'Cooper Koch Answers Everyone's 1 Big Question About His Monsters Nude SceneHere's What Monster Creator Ryan Murphy Actually Said About A Potential Luigi Mangione TV Drama
