Ryan Murphy considers extending "Monsters" season 2 amid new evidence for Menendez Brothers

Ryan Murphy, the mastermind behind the popular Netflix series "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story," has hinted at the possibility of extending the show's second season. This comes in light of recent developments in the case, with new evidence suggesting the brothers were molested by their father.

The revelation of this new evidence has led to a court hearing being set for Erik and Lyle Menendez. The hearing aims to explore the potential impact of this previously undisclosed information on their case.

Murphy, in an interview to Variety, expressed his interest in continuing the story if Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch, who portray Lyle and Erik, respectively, are willing to reprise their roles. He acknowledged the significant public interest in the case and the potential impact that the show has had on raising awareness.

While the show has faced criticism from some members of the Menendez family, Murphy emphasized that the series has ultimately helped to bring their story to a wider audience and may have played a role in prompting the new investigation.

As the case unfolds, Murphy's decision on whether to extend "Monsters" remains uncertain. However, his openness to continuing the story suggests that the Menendez brothers' saga may not be over just yet.

In addition to the potential continuation of "Monsters," Murphy has also announced that the third season of the series will focus on the notorious serial killer Ed Gein. He is currently exploring options for future seasons and has expressed interest in tackling more contemporary stories.
