Accuracy About Menendez Brothers In Netflix Series

On August 20, 1989, Jose and Kitty Menendez were brutally murdered in their home. When authorities arrived on the scene, they found the Menendez sons, Lyle and Erik, overcome with grief. Although it was initially thought that the crime had been committed by the Mafia or some other organized entity, evidence eventually surfaced that implicated the young men in the murders of their parents.

Starring Cooper Koch and Nicholas Alexander Chavez as Erik and Lyle, Netflix’s Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez offers a chilling depiction of the horrific story. Set to debut in September 2024, the series takes viewers through the series of events that led to the murders of Jose (Javier Bardem) and Kitty (Chloë Sevigny), as well as the details of the case that landed the brothers behind bars for life. And while some of the details shared in the series may deviate slightly from true events, many of them actually occurred.
