Fans of Sarah Paulson have reason to celebrate! Not only is the Emmy winner returning for the next season of “American Horror Story“, but she’s also teaming up once again with creators Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan for the upcoming fourth installment of the Netflix true crime anthology, “Monster.”
This is where things get interesting. According to Variety, Paulson is reportedly nearing a deal to play convicted serial killer Aileen Wuornos. How exactly the two stories come together, we don’t yet know. But count us in.
The fourth season, officially titled “Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story,” focuses primarily on the infamous Lizzie Borden story. For those unfamiliar, Borden lived in Massachusetts in the late 1800s. In 1892, she was accused of brutally murdering both her father and stepmother with an axe in their own home. She was ultimately acquitted. However, the sensational nature of the murders still captivates the world, cementing Borden’s place in pop culture. Her story has been adapted many times, including in The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, starring Christina Ricci, and the film Lizzie, starring Chloë Sevigny.
