Netflix caught everyone’s attention with the release of the second season of the crime series Monsters, The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. Although many films have previously touched on the case of the Menendez brothers — Lyle and Erik — who killed their parents, Jose and Mary Louise «Kitty» Menendez, in 1989, the brothers remain incarcerated at RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in California and are now ready to share their side of the story. On Monday, September 23, Netflix released a trailer on Instagram with the caption: «30 years after the murders, the brothers tell their story».
With renewed attention to their case, the Menendez brothers are preparing to return to the screen next month. Keep reading to learn more about the upcoming documentary.
The documentary will tell the story of the crime committed by Lyle and Erik 35 years ago in their Beverly Hills home, when Lyle was 21 and Erik was 18. During the trials, the brothers accused their parents of abusing them throughout their childhood. In 1996, they were both sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
In the trailer, audio recordings of Lyle and Erik giving phone interviews from prison to share their point of view can be heard. Lyle, now 56, says: «Everyone asks why we killed our parents… Maybe now people can understand the truth».
The documentary film will be available on Netflix.
Netflix plans to release the documentary film on October 7, 2024, less than a month after the premiere of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
Eric made a statement through his wife, Tammy Menendez, on September 19, 2024, via X (formerly Twitter), on the day of the premiere of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. He expressed: «I believed that we had overcome the lies and destructive traits of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle based on horrible and blatant lies raging in the show. I can only hope that this was done intentionally. With a heavy heart, I say that I believe Ryan Murphy [creator of Monsters] cannot be so naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives to do this without bad intentions».
