“You’re the one who can’t look away…” Netflix has revealed the full official trailer for the scary novel horror series titled Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the third season of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s ongoing “Monster” series for Netflix. This time they’re focusing on the infamous, iconic serial killer known as Ed Gein, the basis for Hitchcock’s Psycho and Hooper’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre (and many other horror stories). This is a fictionalized version of his real story, embellished to make into a Netflix series, not a true crime doc – starring Charlie Hunnam as Eddie Gein. Hunnam adds: “This is going to be the really human, tender, unflinching, no-holds-barred exploration of who Ed was and what he did. But who he was being at the center of it, rather than what he did.” Murphy adds: “The thesis of every season is: are monsters born or are they made? I think in Ed’s case, it’s probably a little of both.” Monster: The Ed Gein Story tells the story of how one elementary man in Plainfield, WI became history’s most singular ghoul. He revealed to the world the most horrific truth of all: monsters aren’t born, they’re made… by us. Also stars Tom Hollander, Laurie Metcalf, & Suzanna Son. Plus: Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Charlie Hall, Tyler Jacob Moore, Mimi Kennedy, Will Brill, Robin Weigert. This looks freaky! Hunnam looks quite scary…

Here’s the two trailers (+ posters) for Netflix’s horror series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, via YouTube:

“You’re the one that can’t look away.” Serial killer. Grave robber. Psycho. In the frozen fields of 50s rural Wisconsin, a affable, mild-mannered recluse named Eddie Gein (starring Charlie Hunnam) lived quietly on a decaying farm – hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare. Driven by isolation, psychosis & an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Ed’s perverse crimes birthed a novel kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades. From Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein’s macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image and ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant. Ed Gein didn’t just influence a genre — he became the blueprint for up-to-date horror. Monster: The Ed Gein Story (and the on-going “Monster” series) is created by storytellers Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan (“Glee”, “Scream Queens”, “Hollywood”, “The Politician”, “Ratched”, “The Watcher”). With episodes written and directed by Ian Brennan; and other episodes directed by filmmaker Max Winkler. Exec produced by Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, Max Winkler, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, Nissa Diederich, Louise Shore, Carl Franklin, Charlie Hunnam. Netflix will debut Monster: The Ed Gein Story series streaming on Netflix starting on October 3rd, 2025 coming up.
