<p>Ella Beatty has been cast as Lizzie Borden on Monster season 4.</p>
<p>Beatty, the daughter and youngest child of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, will play the role of the 19th-century accused (but acquitted) murderess on the fourth season of Ryan Murphy's crime anthology series, Monsters.</p>
<p>"Cannot believe I get to work with geniuses such as these," Beatty wrote on Instagram, sharing the news.</p>
<p>This will be Beatty's second time working with Murphy, as she starred on last year's Feud: Capote vs. The Swans in her television acting debut. Beatty has also starred on Broadway in 2024 alongside frequent Murphy collaborator Sarah Paulson in Appropriate.</p>

<p>Rebecca Hall and Vicky Krieps have also boarded the project, Deadline reports.</p>
<p>Hall will play Lizzie's stepmother, Abby Borden, and Krieps will play Bridget Sullivan, the Bordens' maid.</p>
<p>Castings for Lizzie's older sister, Emma, or their father, Andrew, have yet to be announced.</p>
<p>Lizzie was accused and faced trial for the murders of Andrew and Abby.</p>
<p>Andrew and Abby were brutally murdered in August 1892 at their home in Fall River, Massachusetts.</p>
<p>The couple had been killed as a result of multiple blows to their heads with a hatchet. Abby was killed in an upstairs bedroom first, followed by Andrew, who was taking a nap on a couch in the parlor.</p>
<p>Despite much speculation that Lizzie — who was 32 at the time of the murders — was the killer, she was ultimately acquitted and lived out her life until she died in 1927 at the age of 66.</p>

<p>The first season focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, with Evan Peters winning Emmy gold for his portrayal of the titular serial killer responsible for the death of at least 17 boys and young men between 1978 and 1991.</p>
<p>The second season starred Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch as Lyle and Erik Menendez, the brothers convicted of killing their parents at their Beverly Hills home in 1989.</p>
<p>The forthcoming third season is set to focus on serial killer Ed Gein, with Charlie Hunnam in the lead role. In addition to being a murderer, Gein was also a serial grave robber. He was found guilty of his crimes but deemed insane and unfit for trial, spending the remainder of his life in mental institutions.</p>
<p>Gein is credited for inspiring the films Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs.</p>
