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.

The fourth season of this anthology series continues to focus on figures who shocked the public with their violent actions.

By including Aileen Wuornos, the writers can dive into the psychological and social factors that led to her spree.

Sarah Paulson has a reputation for disappearing into her characters, and these early images suggest she is doing the same here.

Many viewers are curious to see how the show will balance the narratives of two very different female killers from different eras of history.

Ryan Murphy continues to expand his true crime universe with this latest casting choice.

The previous seasons of the show broke streaming records and sparked many conversations about the ethics of dramatizing real tragedies.

With Sarah Paulson in the lead role, the show will likely attract a large audience of fans who enjoy her intense acting style.

People expect the series to debut on Netflix sometime next year, once the cast and crew finish their work on the current episodes in California.
