MONSTER: The Lizzie Borden Story, premieres September 17th, only on Netflix.
When the repressed daughter of a wealthy New England family and her rebellious maid find themselves trapped in a house built on humiliation and cruelty, they escape into a fantasy of sex, power, and revenge. The gruesome unsolved murders that follow don’t just shock the world—they give birth to an icon who refuses to live imprisoned in a cage, choosing instead to forge her own legend: shocking, monstrous, and gloriously free.
Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s groundbreaking anthology series returns with its fourth and wildest installment yet. MONSTER: THE LIZZIE BORDEN STORY tells the story of how one young woman changed what the world believed a killer could be… all it took was an axe.
