Get ready for Monster season 3! Netflix has added some big names to the cast, including Tom Hollander, Olivia Williams, and Laurie Metcalf. They'll join Charlie Hunnam, who was already announced. The show's third season is all about Ed Gein, a real-life killer from the late 1950s. He was caught digging up bodies and admitted to murdering two women.

So, what's the deal with these new cast members? Tom Hollander, known for shows like The White Lotus and movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, will play Alfred Hitchcock. This could mean the season will focus more on Gein's impact on American pop culture, rather than just his crimes. Olivia Williams will play Hitchcock's wife, Alma, and Laurie Metcalf will play Gein's mother, Augusta Wilhelmine Gein.

The second season of Monster was about the Menendez brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents. It got mixed reviews because it changed some events for shock value and included the parents' perspective. One of the brothers, Lyle Menendez, even spoke out against the show for not being honest about their story.

Despite the controversy, the show was a hit on Netflix. Now, we're excited to see what season 3 will bring with these new actors and a fresh take on a famous criminal case.
