New take on Fall River’s Lizzie Borden coming to acclaimed true-crime anthology series

A story that is no stranger to Fall Riverites is getting a new take.

As Monster’s third season approaches its debut, Netflix is gearing up for a fourth chapter in the acclaimed true-crime anthology series, crafted by creators and executive producers Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, according to insider reports shared with Deadline.

This upcoming season will delve into the infamous case of Lizzie Borden, the woman who faced trial—and was ultimately cleared—for the brutal 1892 hatchet slayings of her father and stepmother.

The Lizzie Borden story has been featured in movies, attractions, short films, documentaries, and books. It will be interesting to see Monster’s take.

Auditions for the starring role are actively in progress, with filming slated to begin this autumn, per the sources. Netflix representatives opted not to provide any statements.
