Sarah Paulson will take on the role of notorious serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the upcoming Netflix series, 'Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story.' The trailer reveal has sparked discussion as Wuornos' crimes occurred in the late 20th century, long after Lizzie Borden's alleged murders in 1892.

Beatty further explained that each season of 'Monster' aims to understand the psychology of its subjects, questioning whether individuals are born or made into perpetrators. This season's focus is on uncovering the catalysts behind women resorting to violence, with Wuornos' story serving as a parallel for this exploration.
