True crime fans, here’s your new obsession. Netflix unveiled the first look of “Monster: The Ed Gein Story” recently, with the newly revealed posters featuring Charlie Hunnam in a chilling new look.
Monsters: The Ed Gein Story is the third installment of the Monsters anthology. Created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, this season focuses on Ed Gein, the infamous grave robber and murderer whose crimes gained worldwide notoriety in the 1950s. Portrayed by Charlie Hunnam, this series will unravel Gein’s psychological deterioration and the gruesome trails of crimes that followed.
Following his arrest in 1957, he earned the nickname of “Butcher of Plainfield”. Ed Gein looms large in horror culture, inspiring cinema iconic like Norman Bates in Psycho, Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs.
This is Netflix’s third Monster season, following Jeffrey Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story debuted #1 on Netflix within the first week of its premiere and went on to become one of the most-watched shows on Netflix. Meanwhile, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story became #1 globally, though its viewership was less compared to The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
Due to the massive success of the previous two seasons, expectations for The Ed Gein Story are naturally high. While online, Charlie Hunnam’s transformations have hit a nerve, with many calling it “truly disturbing” and “scary accurate”. Many cannot help but swoon, praising Hunnam’s charisma even in such a sinister role. A section of viewers is accusing Netflix of glamourizing a notorious serial killer, with many pointing out the actor looks “too handsome” and “ripped” as compared to the real Ed Gein. Amid the divided reactions, Monster anthology fans are curious to see how Netflix handles the crime’s most infamous figure.
Monster: The Ed Gein Story is set to premiere on October 3, 2025, on Netflix. With Charlie Hunnam’s transformation already sparking debates online, all eyes are now on how Netflix brings one of America’s darkest figures to the screen.
