Rumor: Charlie Hunnam Nears Deal to Star in ‘Monster’ Season 4 as Lizzie Borden’s Father

Variety.com — Charlie Hunnam is staying in the “Monster“-verse, with the British actor currently in negotiations to star in the fourth season of the Ryan Murphy anthology series at Netflix.

As previously announced, “Monster” Season 4 will focus on the Lizzie Borden case. According to sources, Hunnam would play Andrew Jackson Borden, Lizzie’s father. Ella Beaty will play Lizzie, while Rebecca Hall will play Lizzie’s stepmother, Abby, and Vicky Krieps will play Bridget Sullvan, a maid in the Borden household.

Reps for Netflix declined to comment.

Hunnam recently completed filming on “Monster” Season 3, in which he will play notorious serial killer Ed Gein. He is best known for starring in the popular FX outlaw biker drama “Sons of Anarchy,” on which he played Jackson “Jax” Teller for seven seasons. He also starred in the Apple series adaptation of the book “Shantaram,” while his other TV credits include “Undeclared” and “Queer as Folk.” His film credits include “Pacific Rim,” “The Gentlemen,” “True History of the Kelly Gang,” “Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire,” and “The Lost City of Z.” Hunnam is also set for a major role in the upcoming Amazon crime drama “Criminal.”

He is repped by CAA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Sloane Offer.

Lizzie Borden lived in Massachusetts in the late 1800s. In 1892, she was accused of murdering both her father and her stepmother with an axe at their shared home. Borden was eventually acquitted of the crimes, but the brutal nature of the murders attracted nationwide attention and contributed to Borden’s place in popular culture.

The case has been the subject of numerous adaptations across a wide variety of media. Recent examples include “The Lizzie Borden Chronicles” TV series starring Christina Ricci and the film “Lizzie” starring Chloë Sevigny and Kristen Stewart.

Netflix Sets Premiere For ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ As Charlie Hunnam Debuts As Killer

Netflix Sets Premiere For ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ As Charlie Hunnam Debuts As Killer

Deadline.com — Charlie Hunnam has undergone a remarkable transformation into killer Ed Gein, as seen in new posters (above and below) released for the Netflix series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, premiering on October 3.

Hunnam is best known for playing the handsome and impulsive biker Jax Teller on FX’s hit series Sons of Anarchy.

From Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the new series’ logline reads as follows: Serial killer. Grave robber. Psycho. In the frozen fields of 1950s rural Wisconsin, a friendly, mild-mannered recluse named Eddie Gein (Hunnam) lived quietly on a decaying farm – hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare.

Driven by isolation, psychosis, and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Gein’s perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades. From Psycho to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein’s macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image. It ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant. Ed Gein didn’t just influence a genre — he became the blueprint for modern horror.

Known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul, Gein confessed to murdering two women in the 1950s and also allegedly made trophies out of bodies and skin of corpses he exhumed from graveyards. He is suspected of having been responsible for the deaths of others, including his brother Henry, but the authorities were unable to connect him definitively to any of the cases.

The cast also includes Laurie Metcalf as Gein’s mother, Augusta; Tom Hollander as Hitchcock, with Olivia Williams playing his wife Alma Reville; Addison Rae as Evelyn Hartley; Charlie Hall as Deputy Frank Worden, and Suzanna Son, in an unknown role. Olivia Williams, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Tyler Jacob Moore, Mimi Kennedy, Will Brill, and Robin Weigert also star.

On May 6th Charlie surprised everyone (his fans especially) by attending the 2024 Met Gala in New York City. While we all had to collectively pick up our jaws off the floor in shock at this rare occurrence we couldn’t help but sigh dreamily at realizing our guy looked like a certified prince. Yes, cue the heart eyes!

While Charlie kept his look simple he chose to accessorize some beautiful pearls and diamonds which he revealed while speaking with Entertainment Tonight that it was actually his lady Morgana who urged him to break out the jewels.

You can find over 90 high quality photos of Charlie from the event in our gallery now.

On December 13th, Charlie attended the ‘Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire’ premiere in Los Angeles, California with the entire cast. While Charlie managed his usual bright smile while posing for photos and greeting fans he was actually not feeling well. On the red carpet Charlie admitted to Entertainment Tonight that he had gotten “incredibly sick” during the Rebel Moon press tour and had recently been a patient in a London hospital for thirty-six hours before checking himself out and flying home to California to attend the premiere.

While I love the dedication the man has for his work and his fans I hope he is able to get back to one hundred percent during the holidays.
