Official trailers: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

Are your nerves ready for another Dahmer?

It's been two years since Netflix released the mindbending and frightening Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and now Monster's become an anthology series with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story as Season 2.

It's created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan - who did Dahmer too - and it premieres on Thursday 19 September, with all nine episodes.

When Dahmer first premiered we were convinced we would never watch it - that it would be too gruesome and upsetting but then we heard people talking about it at the Spar and decided to try.

It turned out to be different from what we'd imagined because it was extremely troubling, yes, but it didn't try to shock with blood and gore.

Instead it gave vivid insight into the mind of Jeffrey Dahmer - the complex factors that made him a serial killer: his psychology, upbringing, the hernia surgery he had as a child, mixed with the evil within him.

The series gave a voice to his victims and their families and exposed the racial prejudices of American society and the disgusting police force that allowed him to thrive.

You can't truly imagine what they went through and yet you could rage and grieve with them, for them.

It was an eye-opening, shocking account of true life events, told with the right intention.

This is why we're interested in the new season.

There are two trailers for it: the first focuses on Lyle and Erik who were convicted of the murder of their parents in 1996.

The second focuses on their parents José and Kitty.

The synopsis, followed by the trailers:

This true crime drama probes the lives of the Menendez brothers, convicted of the brutal 1989 murders of their parents in Beverly Hills. 

While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed - and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole - that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.

The series explores the complex dynamics within the Menendez family, and whether the brothers were troubled individuals acting out of fear and desperation due to years of abuse, or calculating killers driven by financial gain and greed.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story dives into the historic case and asks: Who are the real monsters?

It stars Javier Bardem, Chloë Sevigny, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch.
