A third season in the anthology series is in the works, which focuses on the life of serial killer Ed Gein, played by Charlie Hunnam.Lyle and Erik Menéndez murdered their parents, José and Kitty, on August 20, 1989 in their mansion home in Beverly Hills, California.
The two brothers, aged 21 and 18 respectively at the time, were both armed with shotguns and shot their parents over a dozen times.To this day, the brothers claim they acted in self defense after years of alleged sexual abuse by their father, which was apparently repeatedly ignored by their mother.Speaking in 2017 about the abuse claims to People, Lyle said: “There’s always going to be scepticism.
People think I just hopped up on the witness stand and told a story that a sleazy defense attorney made up. But many people knew there was sexual abuse in this family.”Months after the crime took place, as the brothers were both living a lavish lifestyle, police obtained recordings from Erik and Lyle’s therapist where Erik confessed to the murders.
