Netflix has reportedly ordered two additional seasons of their newly launched series, Monster. Additionally, the streaming service has ordered a second season of its emerging series, The Watcher.
“Audiences can’t take their eyes off Monster and The Watcher,” Bela Bajaria of Netflix told Variety.
“The creative team of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan on Monster along with Eric Newman on The Watcher are masterful storytellers who captivated audiences all over the world. The back-to-back force of these two series is due to Ryan’s distinct original voice which created cultural sensations and we are thrilled to continue telling stories in the Monster and Watcher universes.”
With this news, the popular Netflix series transitions into an anthology series. Despite backlash from the victim’s families, the first season of the show followed the story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Moving forward, the show will highlight “other monstrous figures who have impacted society.”
Led by Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale, The Watcher follows the story of a family who moves into their dream home. Shortly thereafter, they begin to receive mysterious phone calls and letters from the titular character.
