Ryan Murphy has an ax to grind.\u00a0The next season of Monster, following season three\u2019s Psycho inspiration Ed Gein<\/a>, takes on Lizzie Borden, the woman who was infamously tried and acquitted for the 1892 murder of her father and stepmother. It\u2019s not the first time Murphy has engaged with Borden: Grace Bertrand, played by Lizzie Brocher\u00e9, shared Borden\u2019s backstory on American Horror Story: Asylum back in 2012, though that series was set in 1964. Clearly, Borden\u2019s been festering in the twisted mind of Ryan Murphy for a long time.<\/p>\n Below, everything we know about Monster season four.<\/p>\n Lizzie Borden herself will be played by Ella Beatty<\/a>, daughter of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, who graduated from Juilliard and is best known for replacing Elle Fanning in Appropriate<\/a> on Broadway. She also previously worked with Murphy in his series Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, playing Truman Capote\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Kerry O\u2019Shea.<\/p>\n She\u2019ll be joined by Charlie Hunnam, who played Ed Gein in season three. He returns as Lizzie\u2019s murdered father Andrew Borden, while her stepmother Abby Borden will be played by Peter Hujar\u2019s Day star Rebecca Hall. The family will be filled out by Billie Lourd as Lizzie\u2019s sister Emma Borden. Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread) will play the house\u2019s maid, Bridget Sullivan, who is the only other person in the house on the day of Andrew and Abby\u2019s death. Finally, Jessica Barden (not Borden) will play Lizzie\u2019s friend, and speculated lover<\/a>, actress Nance O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n
