The one franchise that Hollywood refuses to leave alone and has tried every trick in the book to make work, is Terminator. Created by James Cameron decades ago, the franchise has seen it all over the years. At its peak, it had expanded across different media. However, the most recent theatrical films both fell short of expectations; one was a critical flop, and the other was a commercial bomb. With the rights to the series currently in the hands of David Ellison, it remains to be seen where he’ll take it next, especially with the Warner Bros. merger in the works. In 2019, Ellison’s Skydance worked with Cameron on a new reboot, Terminator: Dark Fate, which underperformed commercially and led to star Arnold Schwarzenegger seemingly admitting defeat. The star had previously criticized the writing of the franchise’s 2015 reboot, which is currently streaming for free in the United States.
The 2015 movie was marketed as a major return for Schwarzenegger, who wasn’t involved with the 2009 film Terminator Salvation. Directed by Alan Taylor, the 2015 reboot had a production so difficult that the crew of the doomed Fantastic Four movie being shot at the same time distributed sweatshirts that read, “At least we’re not on Terminator.” The experience of making the movie robbed Taylor of the will to continue working in the industry, while star Emilia Clarke said in an interview that the cancellation of the sequels was probably for the best.
By now you’ve probably guessed that we’re talking about Terminator Genisys, which also features Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, and Matt Smith. Produced on a reported budget of more than $155 million, the movie grossed $440 million worldwide — it remains the franchise’s second-highest-grossing installment. However, the reviews were toxic. The movie is now sitting at a 26% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Mired in its muddled mythology, Terminator Genisys is a lurching retread that lacks the thematic depth, conceptual intelligence, or visual thrills that launched this once-mighty franchise.” In a later interview, Schwarzenegger said, “The franchise is not done. I’m done. I got the message loud and clear.” He said that while the first three installments were “great,” the fifth and sixth movies were “not well written.” Terminator Genisys is currently streaming for free on Pluto TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Amanda Seyfried has officially placed her Los Angeles home on the market as she prepares to move to her New York farm full-time.
The “Mean Girls” actress previously shared that she was leaving Hollywood for a “more balanced life” on her upstate farm, far from the hustle and bustle of L.A.
She also offered a glimpse into her strong support system, saying she couldn’t take all the credit for her recent success because her husband, Thomas Sadoski, has been by her side.
Amanda Seyfried is officially preparing to leave the West Coast behind after placing her L.A. home on the market for $3.195 million.
The “Mamma Mia!” actress originally purchased the property in 2011 for $1.85 million from her “Jennifer’s Body” co-star, Adam Brody, and has called it home for the last 15 years.
Tucked away near Runyon Canyon in the Hollywood Hills, the 2,738-square-foot home features three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a swimming pool and a spa, among other luxury amenities.
It also includes a detached garage that Seyfried converted into a home gym, along with beautifully landscaped gardens and a sunroom.

The proposed sale signals Seyfried’s resolve to leave Los Angeles behind.
For several years, the Oscar-nominated actress has made a rural 1930s farm in upstate New York her primary home alongside her husband, actor Thomas Sadoski, and their two children.
She has often spoken about how rural life and caring for her collection of rescue animals — including goats, chickens, horses and peacocks — have given her a more stable balance than Hollywood, which comes with so much pressure.
Seyfried bought the farm in 2013 and has opened up about how the setting has afforded her a much calmer life, helping mitigate the effects of her anxiety and OCD symptoms.

In a 2024 interview with Forbes, she explained that she moved from L.A. to New York for a “more balanced life,” calling it the best decision she had made for her mental health.
“I moved upstate long before I had a family,” she said at the time. “Staying here was the best decision for privacy, peace and nature.”
“It offers a more balanced life than the city does,” she continued, adding that the move was “essential for my mental health.”
The “In Time” actress also told the outlet that staying there allowed her to manage “the high-energy of press events and life on-set” while working in Hollywood.

Despite their busy Hollywood schedules, Seyfried and Sadoski have remained active parents to their two children, daughter Nina and son Thomas Jr.
The couple first met in 2015 while starring in an off-Broadway play before starring alongside each other in “The Last Words,” where their on-screen romance turned real.
During a previous appearance on the YouTube series “Molner’s Table” with host John Molner, she discussed what life on the farm looks like with Sadoski and their children.
“These days, it’s been me waking up and going downstairs and drinking coffee and hanging out with my daughter and then Tommy feeding [the animals]. And you know what? Our family’s still together,” she said, per PEOPLE.

She also shared that her mom, Ann, stays with them and helps raise their children, adding that her presence has helped Seyfried balance her Hollywood career with parenting.
“She’s our nanny,” she said. “My life is awesome because she is the third parent for us. I am so lucky — I know I am.”
“So when my daughter gets up, she either comes in our room or she goes downstairs,” she added. “And if we’re still sleeping, it’s great, ’cause she can hang out with my mom. She wakes up early.”
Earlier this year, she also heaped praise on her husband for his support both on and off the screen.
“We should [nominate him for Husband of the Year],” she told E! News. “He really is a sweetheart.”

Katie Holmes may have just found the happy medium between jeans and dress pants. Her latest denim choice had the relaxed, cool-girl feel she’s known for, but the pleated waist and flowy legs made them look noticeably more polished than your average pair. Even better, the silhouette has a few sneaky flattering details that make it especially appealing for women over 40.
Holmes was spotted out in New York City wearing baggy, pleated blue jeans with a sweet gingham top, crisp white sneakers and oversized shades. While we don’t know her exact pair, we found a strikingly similar style on Amazon for just $37. It’s an easy way to copy her transitional look without overhauling your entire fall wardrobe.
Get the Cicy Bell Wide Leg Pleated Baggy Jeans for $37 (Was $50) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
The Cicy Bell Wide-Leg Jeans combine the casual feel of denim with the dressed-up shape of trousers. They feature a high-rise waist, front pleats and loose, wide legs, plus they come in a dark wash that looks especially close to Holmes’ pair. They also come in black, light-wash, leopard and other options if you want to switch things up.
Those pleats aren’t just there to look pretty, either. They help define the waist before flowing into a roomy leg, creating a long, streamlined shape without anything feeling tight or restrictive.
Shoppers are fans of the softer feel, too. One reviewer said the jeans made a “huge difference in comfort” because the “denim is softer” and has “more movement to it than traditional heavy jeans.” Another buyer said the fit “works well for a variety of body types,” adding that the wide-leg design “creates a flattering, leg-lengthening effect.”
Consider these the jeans to reach for when it’s too warm for full-on fall dressing, but you’re officially over your summer wardrobe. Wear them with a breezy blouse and sneakers now, then add a sweater and boots once temperatures drop. Holmes’ trouser-jeans formula might just make the seasonal switch a whole lot easier.

Shania Twain is mourning Dolly Parton while reflecting on how the late country music icon influenced her life both onstage and away from the spotlight. Twain praised Parton for remaining loyal to her vision throughout her legendary career and empowering other women to follow their own paths without apologizing.
The emotional tribute comes weeks after Parton died at age 80 following a brief battle with cancer. Although the “Jolene” singer kept her diagnosis private, her team revealed that she continued developing new projects until her final days.

While promoting her collaboration with Candy Crush’s new Music Season, Twain spoke to Us Weekly about the qualities she admired most in Parton. “She is the ultimate example of being true to oneself in every way,” Twain said. “She never abandoned her vision of things and her perspective on things and always fulfilled them all unapologetically and so courageously.”
She added, “I always admired that so much in her, and it’s empowered me a lot in my own life and in my career, but also in my personal life.”
Parton’s influence reached far beyond her distinctive voice and songwriting ability. Her carefully cultivated image, business decisions, and commitment to her Tennessee roots helped her build a career that lasted seven decades. For Twain, that confidence made Parton an example of how an artist could evolve without abandoning the qualities that initially made her unique.

Parton died peacefully in Nashville, Tennessee, on August 25, according to an official announcement shared by her representatives. Her team said she had faced a brief battle with cancer but did not disclose the specific type.
Twain said Parton’s presence is already deeply missed. “Dolly’s going to be very missed because we can never get enough of Dolly, and we didn’t get enough of Dolly,” Twain said. “She’s a big loss and she’s on my mind.”
Parton’s death prompted tributes throughout the entertainment industry, including performances honoring her music from artists such as Brad Paisley and Kacey Musgraves.
Her family requested a small private service for immediate relatives. Fans were encouraged to honor Parton by supporting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, the childhood literacy program she founded in 1995. According to Parton’s official website, the program has distributed more than 300 million free books to children around the world.

Twain also reflected on the number of artists who have reinterpreted Parton’s music across different genres and generations. “‘Jolene’ has been rerecorded so many times now in so many different ways, and in the end, she is still this magical songwriter who inspires others to reimagine and to redo their own take on her music,” Twain explained. “It’s only a flattering thing.”
Originally released in 1973, “Jolene” became one of Parton’s signature songs and has since been covered by numerous artists. Parton also wrote “I Will Always Love You,” which Whitney Houston transformed into a global hit after recording it for “The Bodyguard.”

Twain is now experiencing a similar form of musical reinvention. The country singer partnered with DJ and producer Zedd to create a new version of “You’re Still the One” for Candy Crush’s 2026 Music Season. The collaboration gives the love song a dance-oriented sound while retaining Twain’s original vocals. The project also includes a colorful interactive music video set in “Candy Country,” a Western-inspired fantasy world filled with rhinestones, shimmering saloons and hidden clues.
Candy Crush announced that the Music Season event would run in the game through October 5, 2026. Players can also search the video for codes connected to prizes, including opportunities to meet Twain or Zedd on tour.
Twain said the new production gives the familiar song another opportunity to reach listeners. “I think it’s just a whole new, wonderful energy to the song, and it just gives a second life to something that we already know and has been in our lives for so many years now,” she said. “It’s like hitting the refresh button on something. It’s fabulous.”
“You’re Still the One” appeared on Twain’s 1997 album “Come On Over” and became one of the biggest hits of her career.

The Zedd collaboration is part of a busy creative period for Twain. She released her seventh studio album, “Little Miss Twain,” in July. The project features collaborations with Tanya Tucker, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and musical duo The War and Treaty.
Twain said working with artists from different generations helps keep her creativity moving forward. “Being around people that are doing things you may never have thought of [or] doing things in a different way you may never have considered, like Zedd’s doing,” she told Us Weekly.

Parton’s death did not bring an immediate end to her creative work. Her team revealed that she had continued working until the day she died, including helping develop “DOLLY: A True Original Musical.” The autobiographical production, featuring music and lyrics by Parton, is scheduled to premiere on Broadway in December 2026.
Parton had also recorded a song that remains sealed inside a time capsule at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort. The track is scheduled to be released in 2045, on the resort’s 30th anniversary. Her longtime manager, Danny Nozell, said Parton’s team has a plan for continuing her unfinished and future projects.
“She loved seeing her dreams come to life, and loved knowing her work brought people joy,” Nozell said. “Ever the planner, Dolly worked with the team that she handpicked for the past several years to build a project roadmap that will guide us for decades to come.”
Even after her death, Parton’s work will continue reaching audiences, inspiring reinterpretations and encouraging other artists to trust their own visions.
This week, Alan Ritchson debuted his second theatrical release of the year, Runner. Also starring Owen Wilson, the movie grossed around $6 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office, which is around three times higher than what his other 2026 release, Motor City, made in its first weekend. Ritchson will also return as Jack Reacher for the fourth season finale of Prime Video’s blockbuster series this week; the finale coincides with the launch of its first spin-off. It has been a major year for the action star, who got things started with the record-breaking sci-fi thriller War Machine, which eventually became one of Netflix’s most-watched original movies ever.
This season of Reacher continued the show’s remarkable streak of critical success. Not only is Reacher one of Prime Video’s most popular titles, but it is also among the best-reviewed shows of its era. It holds an overall score of 95% on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with Season 4 having settled at a “Certified Fresh” 94% score. The aggregator’s consensus for the fourth season reads, “Reacher maintains its formula for maximum entertainment, serving more brawn, enough narrative brains, and always the right amount of Alan Ritchson to keep the operation up and running for seasons to come.” Runner, Ritchson’s recent theatrical release, debuted with an excellent A- grade on CinemaScore and an 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, reinforcing the actor’s popularity among his fanbase.
Reacher has already been renewed for a fifth season, which will likely debut in 2027, given the yearly release strategy that Prime Video seems to have settled into. But first, Ritchson will reprise his role as a guest star in the spin-off Neagley. Centered on the titular character played by Maria Sten, the show premieres on Prime Video on the same day as the Reacher Season 4 finale. It’ll compete with the sixth season of Apple TV’s Slow Horses, the second season of Paramount+’s MobLand, and Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story. You can watch the Reacher finale and the entirety of Neagley on September 16, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

The Voice is finally using his voice! After nearly two years behind bars and a major courtroom victory, Lil Durk has broken his silence and let fans know exactly how he’s feeling. And now, he’s speaking on what’s next as he looks toward freedom, family, and giving back to his community.
The rapper took to Instagram with his first public statement since the verdict, sharing a message of gratitude for the people who stood by him. “Against all odds, we’re stronger together,” he wrote. “Allah doesn’t make mistakes. I feel all the love and positive energy. Now let me be free to help save our kids and bring unity back to our communities. I couldn’t have made it this far without my family, my lawyers, and supporters. 🫶🏾 Freedom. Freedom. Freedom.”
Durk paired the message with a photo of his legal team, including attorneys Brian Steel and Drew Findling, who have represented high-profile hip-hop figures throughout their careers. Steel previously worked on the YSL RICO case, while Findling recently made headlines after NBA player Quinn Cook gifted him an OTF chain.
You already know fans weren’t about to let this moment slide! They ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section and let it RIP, with some saying Lil Durk needs to regroup and move differently with a new circle, while others were busy crowning Brian Steel as “OTF Steel.”
One Instagram user @therealmvp_mo said, “LMAOOOO them lawyers got that “ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS” smile 😂 IKTRRR ! God bless to Durk tho fr 🙏🏾🤞🏾”
This Instagram user @qveen.evvv shared, “protect Brian Steel 🙏🏽”
And, Instagram user @legendary_berry added, “The streets calling that man OTF Steel is crazy 😂”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @tellyyyyyy__ wrote, “Be like Chief Keef And don’t take yo self back to the streets.”
While Instagram user @nasirxsparksher joked “Durk gotta get Steele and Drew tatted if they beat his RICO case 😂”
Instagram user @ohalyssaface commented, “We love you Durk you better get a WHOLE NEW FRIEND GROUP AFTER THIS BRO PLEASE 😭🙏🏼”
Lastly, kingdaviduzo7 added, “Previously on ♟️Power……”
Big Durk told y’all exactly what it is! After Lil Durk walked away from his federal murder-for-hire case with a not guilty verdict on all five charges, his father was outside the courthouse letting the world know just how much the moment meant to their family.
Speaking with TMZ outside the downtown Los Angeles federal courthouse Friday, Big Durk said he was “bursting with joy” and could barely contain his happiness. He shared that the entire family was on a “high” following the verdict and said Lil Durk always knew the day he would be found not guilty was coming. Now that the moment has arrived, Big Durk says the family is ready to celebrate in a major way.

Lioness star Dave Annable would love nothing more than to appear on Dutton Ranch — despite being killed off on Yellowstone.
“I’m such a huge fan of [Taylor Sheridan’s] Landman and I love that they just put [my costar] Michael Kelly in Landman. I don’t want to say I’m jealous but maybe I go on as his brother or maybe his uncle,” Annable, 46, exclusively told Us. “And then I gotta be honest, [I would love to join] Dutton Ranch.”
Annable reflected on his time playing Lee Dutton, adding, “I’m such a Yellowstone guy. I really learned so much and really learned to love and appreciate that world and being in Montana.”
He continued: “Basically, I’m not going to say no to anything. If Taylor is like, ‘Dave, we’re just going to put you on one episode and kill you off on Tulsa King.’ Great, I can’t wait. I’m a fan of Taylor’s as a person, as a man and as a writer. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do in that man’s universe.”
Sheridan, 56, built his TV empire starting with Yellowstone. The hit series aired from 2018 to 2024 as viewers tuned in to keep tabs on the fictional Dutton family. Sheridan branched out with original shows such as Landman, Tulsa King and Lioness.
Lioness, which airs Sundays, is a spy thriller that follows the leader of a CIA team that enlists female operatives — known as Lionesses — to go undercover in the war on terror.

The first two seasons followed Joe (Zoe Saldaña) as she recruited Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) and Josie (Genesis Rodriguez) to go undercover. A season 2 mission put the team at risk and nearly ended in a group sacrifice. Season 3 raised the stakes even higher while jumping back and forth from the past to the present.
Annable, for his part, plays Saldaña’s onscreen husband, Neal.
“She really is that good. You watch the show and see her not only as the wife and mother but as the senior case officer in combat and being tortured. She’s just crushing it and it couldn’t happen to a better person,” he gushed to Us. “My family, we all love Zoe and we love her family, and she loves us. It’s really been this beautiful dance getting to stand across from her over these seasons.”
In season 3, Joe and Neal have found themselves struggling in their marriage due to her job, with Annable adding, “Obviously with the war coming home, it really made it very real for Neal. The real deal. He [is] now faced with his kids’ lives in danger, his life in danger and witnessing firsthand that his wife’s life is in danger.”
He continued: “Obviously that’s going to elevate any of the stakes that were there in previous seasons — or previously in their marriage. This is a whole different ball game and then with her being abducted in the present timeline, I’m not quite sure there’s anything worse. Especially the not knowing if she’s OK or not. Over these seasons, we witnessed Neal’s patience and support slowly turn into fear and and maybe putting other priorities first instead of his wife’s now.”
Lioness airs new episodes Sundays on Paramount+.

In the Dick Wolf television universe, dozens of actors have come and gone. These are their stories.
Latto and 21 Savage were officially OUTSIDE together! The new parents pulled up to the U.S. Open and made their first public appearance together since confirming their relationship and welcoming their baby girl earlier this year. And chile, fans wasted no time clocking their pop-out and zooming in ONE thing!
Latto and 21 Savage had timelines going OFF after they made their first official appearance together at the U.S. Open on Saturday, September 12. Photos of the couple quickly made rounds online as they looked boo’d up while posing side by side at the event. 21 kept his look cool and casual, rocking a striped shirt with a striped hoodie, fitted cap and shorts. Meanwhile, Big Mama came ready to catch some tennis action serving a lil’ fashion moment of her own. Latto rocked a Burberry hat with a plaid top and trench coat-style skirt. Fans wasted NO time sounding off about the pics! The photos marked the first time fans got to see Latto and 21 officially step out together after the rappers spent years keeping their love and relationship lowkey.
Of course, The Shade Room’s comment section went UP as soon as the photos of Latto and 21 Savage hit the timeline. Fans quickly locked in on ONE thing, with plenty saying they wished the couple would’ve continued to keep their relationship private. Meanwhile, others loved seeing Big Mama and 21 finally pop out together, but some said their outfits had them too distracted.
Instagram user @swavvydom wrote, “When the public forces you out ya private relationship…”
Instagram user @my_kalia wrote, “Coulda stayed hidden for this..ugh 🤭”
While Instagram user @plt.ess wrote, “All that hiding for what lol.”
Then Instagram user @tiffanimonique__ wrote, “I’m just mad at the outfits 😂”
Another Instagram user @shepinkdiamondz wrote, “I prefer the mystery.”
Instagram user @iam_liv_sopretty wrote, “It’s just too many patterns going on.”
Then another Instagram user @nay4shorttt wrote, “I like it when they pretended to not know each other 😩”
Finally, Instagram user @bizbaby wrote, “Wish they kept this low.”
Even though Latto and 21 Savage just made their first official pop out together, the couple has given fans a lil’ peek into life with their baby girl. Latto confirmed their daughter’s arrival when she dropped her ‘Big Mama’ album in May. More recently, 21 opened up about fatherhood and life with their newborn during an interview on Netflix’s ‘The Pete Davidson’ podcast. The ‘Bank Account’ rapper explained that raising his daughter with Latto hits different because he’s more mature now than he was when he welcomed his first three children. In addition to his baby girl with Latto, 21 has three other children. He shares two sons, Kamari and Ashaad, with his ex Keyanna Joseph and also has a daughter, Rhian, from a previous relationship.
“My first three […] I was younger, running around in the street, just like it was different. Now it’s like I’m in the house. I have the baby all night making her bottle, changing her diapers like so it’s kind of like a different bond type sh*t,” 21 said.

It would be challenging to make any list of the greatest heroes of all time without mentioning Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker. While audiences may have been used to seeing superpowered characters with confidence and abilities, Luke was unique because he was simply a young man trying to find his place in the galaxy far, far away. Hamill has been an integral part of the Star Wars franchise since its inception and has returned to play a more grizzled version of Luke in the most recent sequel trilogy. However, Hamill played a different Force-powered character when he had a guest role in the sixth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Hamill voices Sith Lord Darth Bane in the episode “Sacrifice,” in which Yoda (Tom Kane) travels to the dark side world of Morriban after intercepting a vergence in the Force. Although he is eventually met with a startling vision about Anakin Skywalker (Matt Lanter) and Darth Sidious (Ian McDiarmid) starting an intergalactic conflict, Bane shows that the Sith have secretly been plotting to take down the Jedi Order for years. Hamill brought a creepy sense of legacy to the character, differentiating him from the other Sith Lords already featured in the franchise. Although he and Yoda never engage in an actual lightsaber duel, Bane certainly set precedents for the Sith dynasty that have had ramifications that lasted long beyond his death.
Bane is a crucial character in the Star Wars universe, initially established by George Lucas in the official novelization of Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace as the Sith Lord who created the Rule of Two, which said that only one Sith master and one apprentice could exist at a time in order to keep the organization secret. While earlier regimes of Sith had become too obsessed with power and ended up annihilating each other, Bane recognized that there was an opportunity to deceive the Jedi Order into thinking that the dark side had become extinct. Bane was certainly an imposing figure whenever he engaged in combat, but it was his strategic mind that ended up shaping the direction of the Sith moving forward and, in many ways, inspired Palpatine.
Bane’s appearance in Star Wars: The Clone Wars brought him into the official canon, as many of the books, comics, video games, and other expanded universe content released prior to 2014 were classified as part of the “Legends” timeline. Formerly known as the Expanded Universe, the Legends timeline became decanonized to make way for Disney’s new timeline, though several things from the Expanded Universe have since been brought over. Although the three Darth Bane novels by Drew Karpyshyn were often cited as among the best Star Wars spin-offs, many fans doubted that the character would ever be brought into the new canon. Bane’s appearance was a significant moment that showed that Lucasfilm had paid attention to the love that the character received; the fact that it was Hamill voicing the character and bringing such a sinister edge to the role made it even cooler.
Hamill’s live-action roles outside of the Star Wars franchise have been relatively few and far between; Hamill is among the most celebrated voice actors of all time. His performance as Joker in Batman: The Animated Series is often cited as one of the best interpretations of the character, but Hamill has also had roles in Regular Show, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Boy and the Heron, Codename: Kid Next Door, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, The Venture Bros., and Justice League: Unlimited. It was only a matter of time before Hamill popped back up in an animated project, even if it was a return to an existing franchise as a new character. Hearing him as Bane was a welcome (if not entirely surprising) treat for fans who had been waiting to see which character he would play next.
Not one to be deterred by public controversy and pronounced backlash, Ryan Murphy will return with a new show this week. His four most recent releases have been a mixed bag, and in many ways, they represent the entire spectrum of the Murphy experience. All’s Fair, which premiered in November on Hulu, holds a 6% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Murphy’s first new show of 2026, the sci-fi horror title The Beauty, has effectively been canceled after a single season that drew mixed reviews. His second release of 2026, Love Story, on the other hand, was received warmly by critics and audiences, and it ended up turning Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly into overnight stars. Murphy’s third new show of the year, The Shards, set the clock back with divisive reviews. And now, he’s about to release the fourth season of arguably his most popular streaming series.
Murphy signed a lucrative deal with Netflix, but his output under the deal turned out to be just as uneven as the rest of his career. While some shows — Halston, Hollywood, and Ratched, to name three — didn’t create the sort of buzz that they could have, others were far more successful. At the top of Murphy’s list of Netflix originals is Monster, an anthology series that has drawn massive audiences, but has also received brickbats for its perceived spotlighting of abhorrent crimes. The anthology series centers on serial killers who have become pop-culture oddities over the years — Season 1 focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, Season 2 focused on the Menendez brothers, and Season 3 revolved around Ed Gein.
This week, the fourth installment of Monster — Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story — will mark the anthology’s first time focusing on a female protagonist. This could open a new can of worms, given how divisive the response to earlier seasons has been. Monster holds an overall 42% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, with the Ed Gein series sitting at a franchise-low 22% score. In her review, Collider’s Therese Lacson wrote, “It’s 2025, Ryan Murphy, Please Stop Making These Serial Killer Sob Stories.” The upcoming season stars Ella Beatty, Charlie Hunnam, Rebecca Hall, and Vicky Krieps. Murphy regular Sarah Paulson appears as the serial killer Aileen Wuornos, perhaps teasing where the fifth season is heading. The show debuts on September 17 on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
