Netflix has already confirmed one of its most anticipated releases of the year. On October 3, Monster: The Story of Ed Gein will arrive, the third installment of the anthology created by Ryan Murphy. The series lands in the midst of the Halloween season with the intention of becoming the most talked-about title of the season.
After the global phenomenon of Dahmer and the controversy surrounding the Menéndez case, the new season goes back to the 1950s. The series delves into the mind of the killer who inspired classics such as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.

Charlie Hunnam, the main attraction of the series
The lead will be Charlie Hunnam, remembered for Sons of Anarchy, who takes on the challenge of portraying Ed Gein. His transformation promises to be one of the most impactful aspects of the production.
The cast is rounded out by Tom Hollander, Laurie Metcalf, Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, and Lesley Manville. All of them immerse themselves in the oppressive atmosphere of a community marked by fear and silence.
A story that redefined horror
Ed Gein lived on a dilapidated farm in Wisconsin and hid macabre secrets that turned him into an icon of real-life horror. According to Netflix's official synopsis, his friendly man's facade contrasted with a house of horrors that redefined the "American nightmare."

It doesn't focus solely on the crimes, but on how Gein's figure forever changed the way of understanding the "monster" within popular culture. Horror no longer came from the supernatural, but from the seemingly harmless neighbor.
Monster, Netflix's most controversial franchise
With this third season, Murphy cements Monster as one of Netflix's most successful franchises. In 2022, Dahmer accumulated more than 650 million hours viewed, while in 2024 the season about the Menéndez caused intense debates.

Now, Gein's story promises to be the most disturbing of all. After all, his legacy not only left its mark on crime reporting, but also left an indelible mark on Hollywood and decades of horror cinema.
