The anthology series Monsterwas launched in Netflixafter the audience success of Dahmer.

The brothers were tried twice: the first trial resulted in deadlocked juries and the second ended in convictions for first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Lyle and Erik (who will be played by Nicholas Chavez and Cooper Koch) claimed they had suffered years of abuse from their parents and shot them because they feared for their own lives.
