Season 3 of the Monster anthology is coming to Netflix this fall, preparing fans for spooky season. Ed Gein is one of the most notorious serial killers from the 1950s, inspiring numerous movies like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Silence of the Lambs, and Psycho.

Charlie Hunnam is set to play the titular character, and the actor told Tudum in an article on September 4, 2025, that the 8-episode season will focus on who he is instead of what he did. This sets up the season to be a psychological introspection of a lonely, mild-mannered man in the frozen fields of rural Wisconsin, whose isolation-induced psychosis led to the most chilling crimes.

2) Black Rabbit

Release: Netflix, September 18

Zach Baylin and Kate Susman's gritty drama brings family dynamics, trauma, and the slippery slope of crime to the spotlight. If the slick visuals in the trailer are any indicator, the show is about to offer an immersive world in the heart of a big city for fans to dive right into.
