Season 4 of Ryan Murphy‘s Netflix series Monster will reportedly focus on Lizzie Borden, the suspect of the 1892 axe murders of her father and stepmother.

Sources tell Variety that Murphy and his team are currently preparing to possibly begin shooting this fall, however neither the creator nor the streamer have announced a fourth season. No additional information, including a possible cast and release date, have been announced.

Borden was tried and acquitted of murdering Andrew and Abby Borden in August 1892. Both victims were killed with a hatchet-like weapon; Abby suffered from more than 17 hits and Andrew from 10 or 11. Although acquitted, she remained the prime suspect.

As of writing, the anthology’s confirmed third season — which focuses on serial killer Ed Gein — will premiere some time this year. Charlie Hunnam will portray the Butcher of Plainfield. The show’s previous seasons focused on Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez Brothers.

Stay tuned for an official trailer and release date.
