Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny Lead Season 2 of Netflix's Monster as Menendez Couple

Ryan Murphy’s next pair of monsters have found their victims.

Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny are joining season 2 of Netflix's Monster as Jose and Kitty Menendez, who were murdered by their sons Lyle and Erik.

Officially titled Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, the mini-series will also star newcomers Nicholas Alexander (General Hospital) and Chavez Cooper Koch (They/Them) as Lyle and Erik, respectively.

Oscar-winner Bardem (No Country For Old Men, Being the Ricardos) is a newcomer to the Murphy-verse, while Sevigny (Boys Don't Cry, Big Love) previously appeared in  American Horror Story: Asylum and American Horror Story: Hotel, the second and fifth installments of Murphy’s spooky anthology. She'll also mix it up in Murphy’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, which debuts on Jan. 31.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story follows the first season of Murphy’s killer mini-series Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. The Evan Peters-led Dahmer is one of only four Netflix series to reach one billion view hours in its first 60 days, which led the streamer to order two additional installments from creators Murphy and Ian Brennan.

The Menendez brothers were convicted in 1996 for the shooting deaths of their parents seven years earlier. At trial, the brothers maintained that they committed the murders in self-defense after years of abuse, while the prosecution argued that they hoped to inherit their father’s millions after his death.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story makes its bow on Netflix later this year.
