On the anniversary of the Borden murders, premier date for Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story revealed

FALL RIVER, MA/LOS ANGELES, CA – According to Netflix, after being produced in Los Angeles, California, Season 4 of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s Monster is on the way.

As previously reported, the new season will center on Lizzie Borden, who is very familiar to Fall Riverites.

Ella Beatty will play Lizzie while Charlie Hunnam, who played Ed Gein in the most recent season of the anthology series, will return to the franchise as Andrew Borden in Season 4.

Beatty previously appeared in Murphy’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans; she can also be seen in Mary Bronstein’s Sundance sensation If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

Locals will remember that Hunnam spent the summer and spring of 2018 in Fall River and surrounding communities shooting the movie Jungleland.

Also joining the fourth season of Monster are Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Monster: The Ed Gein Story) as the Bordens’ live-in maid, Bridget Sullivan, and Rebecca Hall (Christine, Passing) as Lizzie’s stepmother, Abby Borden. Billie Lourd (American Horror Story, The Last Showgirl) will play Lizzie’s older sister Emma, while Jessica Barden (The End of the F***ing World, Dune: Prophecy) will play Lizzie’s actress friend Nance O’Neill.

According to Vanity Fair, the eight-episode series will debut on September 17th, and will have a “darkly comic tilt”. Music from Kate Bush, Wet Leg, and Lambrini Girls will be featured.

Today happens to be the anniversary of the Borden murders which took place in 1892. Lizzie was arrested for the deaths and later acquitted.
