When the repressed daughter of a wealthy New England family and her rebellious maid find themselves trapped in a house built on humiliation and cruelty, they escape into a fantasy of sex, power, and revenge. The gruesome unsolved murders that follow don't just shock the world – they give birth to an icon who refuses to live imprisoned in a cage, choosing instead to forge her own legend: shocking, monstrous, and gloriously free. Murphy and Brennan's groundbreaking anthology series returns with its fourth and wildest installment yet. Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story tells the story of how one young woman changed what the world believed a killer could be. All it took was an axe.

The season stars Ella Beatty (Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, If I Had Legs I'd Kick You) as Lizzie Borden; Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Monster: The Ed Gein Story) as Bridget Sullivan, the Bordens' live-in maid; Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Sons of Anarchy) as Andrew Borden, Lizzie's father; Rebecca Hall (Christine, Passing) as Abby Borden, Lizzie's stepmother; Billie Lourd (American Horror Story, The Last Showgirl) as Emma, Lizzie's older sister; Jessica Barden (The End of the F***ing World, Dune: Prophecy) as Nance O'Neil, an actor friend of Lizzie's.
