The Menendez Brothers story isn't over yet (Details about the documentary coming to Netflix)

As a seasoned true-crime enthusiast who’s navigated through countless documentaries and dramas, I can say that the upcoming Netflix documentary on the Menendez Brothers is a must-watch. Having delved into their story through various lenses, I’m genuinely intrigued to hear directly from them after all these years. It’s not every day we get to peek behind the curtains of such infamous cases, and I can’t help but wonder if they’ll spill the beans on whether mom’s casserole really was that bad! The Menendez Brothers documentary on Netflix will begin streaming Monday, Oct. 7, 2024 – mark your calendars, true-crime fanatics!


In September 2024, the second season of the “Monster” series, focusing on the Lyle and Erik Menendez story, was unveiled. The reception has been somewhat divided. To be frank, I found parts of it stretched out, and nine episodes felt excessive for this particular season. However, it’s a fascinating tale for true-crime enthusiasts. Interestingly, often we don’t get to hear from the perpetrators directly. But now, Netflix is providing us with a documentary titled “The Menendez Brothers” that offers unique insights.

Save the date for Monday, October 7th, 2024! In an upcoming documentary on Netflix, Lyle and Erik Menendez – the individuals themselves – will share their accounts of the fateful night they murdered their parents, as well as the subsequent trials, through audio interviews. Additionally, Diane Vander Molen, their cousin, and Pamela Bozanich, the prosecutor, will be included to discuss their personal experiences and insights regarding this sensational case. Below is a description and trailer of the documentary, according to Netflix’s Tudum.

In 1996, Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted of the murders of their parents in what became one of the most famous criminal cases of the late 20th century. For the first time in almost 30 years, and in their own words, both brothers revisit the trial that shocked the nation.

One of the biggest questions that are still around today is why did the brothers do it? Was it really a result of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents as they say; was it for the money as the prosecution determined; or was there no reason at all?

It’s uncertain if we can find an absolute response to this question since it remains somewhat enigmatic, even though a definitive answer might have been presented in the Netflix series, they opted instead to delve into every possibility. The show portrayed various potential motives, reflecting where our understanding currently stands.

True-crime enthusiasts find the genre captivating, and it becomes even more intriguing when listeners get firsthand accounts from those who were convicted. Living in a peculiar world, it’s mind-boggling to ponder the capabilities of certain individuals, though encounters with figures like the Menendez Brothers are rare. I, for one, am eagerly awaiting their insights in the upcoming Netflix documentary. What about you?
