In 1989, Lyle and Erik Menendez murdered their parents Jose and Kitty in their home near Los Angeles. Although they were not initially considered prime suspects, they were investigated in the following months and they eventually confessed to parricide, while at the same time claiming that their actions stemmed from years of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at the hands of their father.

The first of two trials, broadcast on Court TV, gripped the nation, as did O.J.'s trial. Simpson in 1994, and it is believed to have played a role in today's fascination with 'true crime'. Prosecutors argued that the pair were in fact out to inherit their father's multimillion-dollar fortune, and the Menendez brothers were sentenced in 1996 to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The first season of the anthology, Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, starred Evan Peters as the infamous serial killer. The series debuted in September 2022 and became one of the most popular English-language Netflix series ever. This led to Netflix greenlighting two sequel seasons, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story being the first.
