The trailer for “Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story” shows how Javier Bardem and Chloe Sevigny turn into THIS tragic couple in real life

Ryan Murphy is back with another season of his true crime anthology “Monsters,” this time bringing the story of the Menéndez brothers to the big screen. The trailer for “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” gave a terrifying insight into the tangled life of the Menéndez family, which led to the cold-blooded murder of José (Javier Bardem) and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menéndez (Chloë Sevigny) by their sons.

Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch, former members of the General Hospital series, play the Menéndez brothers, Lyle and Erik. The trailer showed the strange dual dynamic of the family, who seem perfect from the outside but have dark secrets between themselves.

“I need to know what's going on between you and the boys,” says Sevigny's Kitty, to which José replies, “What do you mean?” Kitty says she doesn't want “any more lies between us” and promises she won't “tell any secrets.”

The trailer ends with the shirtless brothers embracing, while one of them says in voiceover, “Now we're alone. We're on our own,” followed by a gunshot. The Menéndez brothers were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Prosecutors claimed they committed the crime for money, but the brothers claimed their parents abused them physically, sexually and emotionally.

In 2017, Lyle revealed to Dateline that their story was treated as “different” in order to create a media frenzy around the fact that the brothers had killed their parents for money. “There are about two to three hundred cases of patricide every year, where a parent is killed by a child. And they're almost all related to abuse,” he said.

However, her residence in Beverly Hills and her father's wealth allowed the media to conveniently change the narrative. He believed it was easier to sell the headline that “these brothers killed for money.”

This series is the second part of Murphy's anthology, which focuses on the fictional retelling of true crime cases. The first season focused on Jeffrey Dahmer (Evan Peters), a cold-blooded serial killer known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, and the unfortunate victims. Despite intense and graphic storytelling, the series received several awards, including 13 Emmy nominations.

Niecy Nash-Betts won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Glenda Cleveland Dahmer's neighbor, who warned the police long before her arrest that he was a dangerous man.

“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” will premiere on Netflix on September 19.
