MONSTER Season 4 Casts Ella Beatty as Lizzie Borden With Rebecca Hall and Vicky Krieps
Netflix’s anthology series Monster is gearing up for another season, this time focusing on the axe murders of the young murderess Lizzie Borden.
Ella Beatty (Feud) will star as Lizzie, and she will be joined by Rebecca Hall (The Prestige, The Town), who has been cast as Lizzie’s stepmother, Abby Borden, and Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Old), who will play Bridget Sullvan, a maid in the Borden household.
The fourth season of Monster was first reported to be in the works back in early July. Monster Season 3, which will star Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein, is believed to be releasing later in 2025.
Lizzie Borden lived in Massachusetts in the late 1800s. In 1892, she was accused of murdering both her father and her stepmother with an axe at their shared home.
Borden was eventually acquitted of the crimes, but the brutal nature of the murders attracted nationwide attention and contributed to Borden’s place in popular culture. The case has been the subject of numerous adaptations across a wide variety of media.
This project marks Beatty’s second collaboration with Monster co-creator Ryan Murphy. Beatty made her TV acting debut in Feud: Capote vs. the Swans in the role of Kerry O’Shea.
