Charlie Hunnam plays killer Ed Gein in 'Monster'

  • Netflix will debut a new series about Ed Gein, featuring Charlie Hunnam in the lead role, on October 3, 2025, set in the rural Wisconsin of the 1950s.
  • The series follows Ed Gein, a recluse whose crimes stemmed from isolation, psychosis, and obsession with his mother.
  • The trailer showcases horrifying imagery, including Gein donning face coverings crafted from human skin, violent stabbings, and his haunting admission that he perceives himself as a puzzle with mismatched pieces.
  • Gein murdered two women, exhumed and mutilated corpses, and inspired iconic horror films such as Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
  • The show, part of Ryan Murphy's Monster anthology, may attract horror and true crime fans and continue Gein's legacy as the blueprint for modern horror.
