The first full trailer for Monster: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is here – and it's a doozy.
Following the success of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the next season takes on another albeit equally sensational case this time from the '90s. Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted of murdering their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez with the jury finding that they did so in order to inherit their parents' multimillion-dollar estate.
The trailer, which can be viewed below, flashes between Jose's abusive parenting and Erik and Lyle casually admitting that they committed the murder – with Lyle being the ringleader and Erik harboring guilt.
