Another chilling true-crime tale will soon unfold on the streets of the City of Angels. The filming of the third season of Netflix’s anthology series ‘Monster,’ created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, will start in Los Angeles, California, in October. The production in Chicago will take place between January and February 2025. Charlie Hunnam headlines the third installment. The cast also includes Laurie Metcalf (‘Roseanne’ and ‘The Conners’), Tom Hollander (‘The White Lotus’ and ‘Feud’), and Olivia Williams (‘The Crown’ and ‘The Nevers’).
The third season revolves around the notorious serial killer Ed Gein, who hailed from Wisconsin like Jeffrey Dahmer. He became infamous in the 1950s when authorities discovered that he had not only killed multiple people but also had dug up graves from a cemetery near his home and fashioned all manner of household items and clothing from human remains.
Hunnam, who is known for playing Jackson “Jax” Teller in FX’s ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ starred as Kai in Netflix’s ‘Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire’ and Lin Ford in Apple TV+’s ‘Shantaram.’ His most recent feature credits include Charlie Waldo in ‘Last Looks’ and Ray in Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Gentlemen.’
The first season revolves around Dahmer, his neighbors, and his victims. The installment was wildly popular and received great acclaim, winning one Primetime Emmy Award out of six nominations. Its success led Netflix to expand ‘Monster’ into an anthology series and renew it for two more seasons. The recently released second installment centers on Lyle and Erik Menéndez. The two brothers lived through a troubled past and murdered their parents.
Los Angeles is the filming location for the first season of ‘Monster,’ and based on press photographs, the city also hosted the shooting of the second installment. The versatility of its cityscape is evident in ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.’ Furthermore, LA boasts a diverse array of filming sets to create period-accurate backdrops and interiors. Other biographical crime films and shows shot in the city include ‘Catch Me If You Can,’ Netflix’s ‘Griselda,’ ‘American Crime Story,’ and ‘The Iceman.’ On the other hand, Chicago hosts the shooting of FX on Hulu’s acclaimed series ‘The Bear.’
