MONSTER: SEASON 4 — The Aileen Wuornos Story | Starring: Sarah Paulson (in final talks) From creator: Ryan Murphy

Prepare to confront the shadows of a mind the world could never fully comprehend. After the chilling chronicles of Dahmer and the Menéndez Brothers, Ryan Murphy turns his lens toward one of America’s most notorious female serial killers — Aileen Wuornos. With Sarah Paulson in final negotiations to embody a role once immortalized by Charlize Theron, this season promises a haunting, empathetic, and unflinching portrayal of a woman trapped between trauma, fury, and a fragile humanity.

Monster: Season 4 does more than recount crimes; it dissects a culture obsessed with villainy while often blind to the humanity of both victims and perpetrators. We witness Wuornos’s descent from a struggling roadside survivor into a national symbol of terror, framed by society’s relentless gaze, sensationalist media, and systemic neglect. Every act, every decision, is colored by pain and survival instincts that collide with a public hungry for scandal.

Mid-season, the narrative fractures and shifts to Lizzie Borden, exploring the blood-streaked myths of her time. Two women, separated by decades, are connected by violence, resilience, and society’s morbid fascination. Murphy draws parallels between eras, inviting viewers to consider the forces that create monsters — and the shared threads of vulnerability and rage that define them.

“Evil has many faces. This one stares back.”
Monster: The Aileen Wuornos Story is more than a true-crime retelling. It’s a deep dive into trauma, the hunger for justice, and the uncomfortable truths about society’s obsession with fear, fame, and morality. Prepare for a story that is dark, emotionally charged, and hauntingly human — a portrait of crime, consequence, and the enduring search to understand what terrifies us most.
Verdict: Darkly compelling, empathetic, and unflinching, Ryan Murphy delivers his most haunting exploration of human nature yet.
