This role marks another collaboration between the star and creator Ryan Murphy, who often works with her on dark and complex projects.

Aileen Wuornos became a household name for the wrong reasons after she murdered seven men in Florida between 1989 and 1990.

She claimed she acted in self-defense while working as a prostitute, but the courts eventually convicted her of the crimes.

The state of Florida executed her by lethal injection in 2002. This new season of the show aims to explore her life and crimes alongside the story of Lizzie Borden.

Sarah Paulson faces the challenge of following Charlize Theron, who famously won an Oscar for playing the same woman in the 2003 film titled Monster.
