Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story (2026) 2-Disc Set Blu-ray

Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story continues the true-crime anthology series with a focused look at the 1892 killings in Fall River, Massachusetts, and the woman at the centre of the case. Rather than retreading the well-known rhyme, the instalment examines the Borden household from the inside, tracing the relationships and resentments that made the family a subject of endless speculation.

The series follows the investigation, the trial and the media storm that turned a local tragedy into a national obsession. It gives particular attention to Lizzie herself, presenting her as a complicated figure shaped by her time, her family and the limited options available to women of her class. The result is a slow-burning drama about evidence, perception and the stories a public chooses to believe, told with the anthology’s characteristic attention to period detail.

Viewers drawn to true crime, historical drama and anthology storytelling will find this a compelling addition to the Monster collection. It stands on its own while rewarding those who have followed the series from its earlier chapters, and it offers plenty to discuss long after the final episode.
