00:00Ryan Murphy's monster anthology has captivated and divided audiences since its debut, and that trend is set to continue.
00:09Despite ongoing controversy surrounding its grotesque and sensational storytelling, Netflix has officially confirmed a fourth season is on its way.
00:18This time the series is delving deeper into history than ever before, to tackle one of the can't, America's most
00:24infamous, and unsolved cases.
00:27Season 4 will explore the story of Lizzie Borden, a woman accused of the brutal axe murders of her father
00:33and stepmother in 1892.
00:36You might know the chilling childhood rhyme, but the real story is far more complex.
00:41Borden was actually acquitted of the crimes, though public opinion has long held her responsible.
00:47This marks the first time a female subject will be the focus of a monster season.
00:50Because everyone directly involved is long deceased, the show has significant creative freedom to interpret the events.
00:57Filming for the new season officially kicked off in Los Angeles on October 9th, 2025.
01:03Based on past schedules, we can likely expect the series to drop in the fall of 2026.
01:09In a break from tradition for the monster series, several actors from previous installments are returning.
01:14Charlie Hunnam, who portrayed Ed Gein in season 3, is back as Lizzie's father, Andrew Borden.
01:20Vicky Creeps also returns to play the family's maid, Bridget Sullivan.
01:24Leading the cast is rising star Ella Beatty as Lizzie Borden.
01:28With Billy Lord playing her sister Emma, and Rebecca Hall as her stepmother, Abby.
01:33Recent behind-the-scenes photos have even given us our first glimpse of the actors in costume.
01:38While historians believe Borden was the likely culprit, the lack of concrete evidence at the time led to her acquittal,
01:45leaving a mystery that has endured for over a century.
01:49With a story built largely on speculation, Ryan Murphy has plenty of room to craft a compelling and characteristically controversial
01:58narrative.
01:58The stage is set for a season that blends historical ambiguity with the series' signature, dark storytelling.
