Netflix is expanding its crime category with an upcoming series based on the case of Lyle<\/a><\/strong> and Erik Menendez<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The two brothers<\/a>, who were 21 and 18 years old when they murdered their parents in 1989, were found guilty of killing Jos\u00e9<\/strong> and Mary Louise Menendez<\/strong> and were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Despite growing up in a wealthy family, thanks to their father\u2019s work in the entertainment industry, Lyle and Erik claimed during their court trials that they suffered from physical, emotional, and sexual abuse throughout their childhood.<\/p>\n

The Menendez family story became a high-profile case, and now Netflix, along with the creators who worked on the Dahmer<\/em> series starring Evan Peters<\/a><\/strong>, is set to release a series based on their case. The show will star Nicholas Alexander Chavez<\/strong> (Lyle), Cooper Koch <\/strong>(Erik), Javier Bardem<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(Jos\u00e9), Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(Mary Louise, also known as, \u201cKitty\u201d), and more in leading roles.<\/p>\n
