The cast of Ryan Murphy's Monsters have revealed what it was like to film one of the show's most shocking scenes.

A dramatised retelling of the Menendez case, Monsters follows the story of how brothers Lyle and Erik fatally shot their parents José and Kitty Menendez in 1989 as well as their subsequent high profile trial.

Going on to become one of the most viewed programmes on the platform since its release last week, Monsters has reintroduced the case of the Menendez family to a whole new generation of people - and it turns out people have a lot to say about the show.

The show's all-star cast - which stars Javier Bardem, Chloë Sevigny, Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch as José, Kitty, Lyle and Erik respectively - has also received plenty of praise from viewers, with Chavez and Koch's performance being hailed as a high point of the series.

Bardem, Sevigny, Chavez and Koch have since shared what it was like to bring get into character as the Menendez family.

Viewers will, of course, remember the heated argument from the first episode which ended with Kitty furiously ripping her elder son's hairpiece from his head and exposing his drastic hair loss for all to see.

Turns out, this was the first thing the group shot together.

"This was the first scene we ever shot together," Koch exclaimed in an interview with Netflix as they watched the clip back.

Bardem then went on to share his appreciation for his co-stars, adding that he felt 'in-tune' and 'like a family... in a weird way', while acting out the argument.

The actors were then left visibly stunned after watching the wig snatching moment back on screen, with both Bardem and Koch heard gasping 'oh wow' at the clip.

"It was intense," Koch added, to which Bardem jokingly replied: "It was fun."

The streamer has since announced that a documentary featuring the brothers telling their version of events from prison will premiere on the platform.

Titled The Menendez Brothers, a first look at the documentary was revealed earlier today and will be available to watch from 7 October.

"Everybody asks why we killed our parents," one of the brothers can be heard saying in the trailer, before adding: "Maybe now people can understand the truth."

The announcement follows a statement from the real life Erik Mendendez slamming the series and accusing creators Murphy and Ian Brennan of telling 'blatant lies' in the series.
