The third season of the hit Monster anthology series on Netflix is in the works! It was just announced that three more actors have been cast in leading roles for the next installment, which is set to center on serial killer Ed Gein, who was known as the “Butcher of Plainfield.” Back in September, it was revealed that Charlie Hunnam would be starring as Ed. Now, Variety has unveiled the casting of Laurie Metcalf, Tom Hollander and Olivia Williams, who all join Charlie in the Ryan Murphy series. Keep reading to find out more… Laurie has been cast as Ed’s mother Augusta, with Tom as Alfred Hitchcock and Olivia as Alfred’s wife Alma Reville. According to the publication, since Ed Gein was one of the inspirations for Alfred‘s hit movie Psycho, it looks like the new season could focus on how Ed’s crimes were influential to the film and the novel it was based on. This will mark the second collaboration between Ryan Murphy and Tom Hollander, as they previously worked together on the FX series Feud: Capote Vs The Swans. Tom received an Emmy nomination for his role as Truman Capote in the second season of the anthology series.
