Monster Season 3: Cast, Story & Everything We Know About The Original Monster
Another Monster has arrived.
👉 Click Here to read in detail 👈
Ryan Murphy's controversial true crime anthology series, Monster, has been renewed for a third season on Netflix, and The Original Monster is tackling the terrifying case of Ed Gein. Launching in 2022 with Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the series highlights a notorious true crime story from American history each season, and dramatizes real-life events with Murphy's signature over-the-top style. Season 1 was a smash-hit for Netflix, and though it garnered a fair amount of jeers for its tasteless content, a second season followed in 2024 that told the story of Erik and Lyle Menendez.
The controversies surrounding Dahmer didn't deflate its humongous viewership numbers, and it started a dialogue about the ethics of dramatized true crime content. Ryan Murphy has rarely missed in the sphere of TV, and the ongoing success of Monster proves that his anthology approach continues to be successful many years after the debut of American Horror Story. Season 2 of Monster (called Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story) temporarily refocused the true crime series, but the confirmed third season is once again telling the story of one of the world's most notorious serial killers.

Son joins an ensemble that is already stuffed with starpower with Charlie Hunnam playing Ed Gein, and Laurie Metcalf portraying Gein's mother, Augusta.

The Monster series didn't have to wait long to earn a third season, and Netflix renewed it for more episodes days before season 2 even debuted. Along with that news, it was also revealed that The Original Monster will tell the story of gruesome 1950s serial killer Ed Gein who, ironically, also hailed from Wisconsin (the home state of season 1's subject, Jeffrey Dahmer). On top of that, Netflix also announced that Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam had been tapped to play Gein in season 3. Shooting began, appropriately enough, on Halloween 2024.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story debuted on September 19, 2024.
Monster Season 3: Cast Details For The Original MonsterCharlie Hunnam Will Play Ed GeinGein's life and crimes span several decades, and it may require a massive ensemble to tell the story properly.
Leading a season of Monster is never easy, and though frequent Ryan Murphy collaborator Evan Peters won acclaim for his portrayal of Jeffrey Dahmer, it wasn't without its controversies as well. This will likely carry over into The Original Monster, where Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) has been tapped to play serial killer Ed Gein. Joining Hunnam is Laurie Metcalf (The Conners) who will play Gein's domineering mother, Augusta. Gein's life and crimes span several decades, and it may require a massive ensemble to tell the story properly.
In an interesting twist, Tom Hollander has been cast as iconic director Alfred Hitchcock, who famously adapted Robert Bloch's novel Psycho, which is loosely based on Gein's crimes. Joining Hollander is Olivia Williams (The Crown) who will play Hitchcock's wife and longtime creative collaborator, Alma. Red Rocket and The Idol star Suzanna Son has been cast in an unknown role, but it's possible that she could be playing Psycho star Janet Leigh.

Monster Season 3: The Original Monster Story DetailsOne Of The World's Most Notorious Serial KillersThough the first two seasons of Monster tackled big cases, The Original Monster is stepping back in time to cover one of the most infamous crimes in world history. Season 3 will tell the story of 1950s Wisconsin serial killer Ed Gein who, across several decades, exhumed dozens of recently-buried bodies in order to make keepsakes from their remains. Gein's rural Wisconsin farmhouse became a literal house of horrors when police arrested him in 1957 for the murder of local store owner Bernice Worden.
Gein was later linked to the murder of Mary Hogan in 1954, and he was the subject of a sensationalized trial that saw him remanded to a mental health facility for the remainder of his life. Gein's mental status was the subject of debate for decades, and his crime was seen as the beginning of a dark period in American history in which serial crime rose between the 1950s until it's peak in the 1980s. Unsurprisingly, Gein had a profound impact on popular culture and served as the inspiration for fictionalized characters like Leatherface, Norman Bates, and Buffalo Bill.
At this juncture, it's unclear how Monster season 3 will approach Gein's story, and unlike Dahmer or the Menendez brothers, many of the facts of the case aren't cut-and-dry. Much that is currently known about Gein's crimes is based on forensic extrapolation, and Gein's own testimony is potentially clouded. On top of that, some sensationalized details have become part of the case that aren't actually true, and The Original Monster will need to choose between facts and fiction when tackling Gein's tale.

 was traumatized by the abrupt deaths of multiple students who had crushes on her. Plagued by rumors that she was a “witch,” Mi Jeong decided to quit school and stay cooped up inside at home. Even then, her mysterious “curse” followed her, and her father tragically died after saving her from a venomous snake bite.
In a preview that aired at the end of the episode, it was revealed that it was not Mi Jeong’s idea to leave the village; instead, it turned out that she had been pressured to leave by the other villagers. Most shocking of all, Lee Dong Jin (GOT7’s Jinyoung)’s mother Mi Sook (Jang Hye Jin) was seen standing at the forefront of the group asking Mi Jeong to leave. Later, while lying in a hospital bed, Mi Sook confessed to her son, “I was the one who chased that girl away.”
As Mi Sook was always kind, friendly, and generous to not only her son but also her neighbors, her unexpected and seemingly uncharacteristic involvement in Mi Jeong’s departure raised the question of whether something else had happened in the village after her father’s death.
In newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming third episode, a remorseful Mi Sook brings up the incident with Mi Jeong, which had remained painfully buried in her heart. As she lies in the hospital with Dong Jin by her side, Mi Sook catches her son off guard with her shocking confession—and what she has to say ultimately makes Dong Jin determined to figure out and undo the “curse” that afflicts Mi Jeong.
The drama’s production team teased, “This week, the heartbreaking reason why Mi Jeong had no choice but to leave the village—and why Dong Jin wants so badly to help Mi Jeong return to an ordinary life—will be revealed.”
“Dong Jin will begin to dig into Mi Jeong’s ‘pattern of death’ in earnest,” they continued. “The true mystery will begin starting from Episode 3.”
The third episode of “The Witch” will air on February 22 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
