Ryan Murphy, co-creator of the hit Netflix TV series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, is looking to make bonus episodes of the show if the Menendez brothers are released, according to a Variety interview. After the series of the two became a hit when it was released in September, the case of the Menendez brothers was reinvigorated, with many calling for their release. Lyle and Erik, who were found guilty for the 1989 murder of their parents, are currently serving life sentences without parole. That, however, is now under review by the Los Angeles district attorney due to additional evidence, which could mean a possible resentencing or freedom. Both argued that they were sexually and psychologically abused by their father, and were acting in self defense. Murphy told Variety on Thursday that if the brothers are released, he’d want to make additional episodes. “It’s been discussed, I’ll tell you that much. Everyone has been interested in that,” he said to Variety. “I think everyone wants to see how this story ends because this story is not over.”
