Ryan Murphy’s latest Monster season turns the 1892 Borden murders into a fictionalized tale of sex, power and revenge.

- Featuring the franchise's first female lead, Ella Beatty stars alongside Vicky Krieps, Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, and Billie Lourd, with Beatty finding the show's examination of gender "strikingly relevant."
