The third season of Ryan Murphy's popular series Monster has been confirmed by Netflix, with Charlie Hunnam at the helm.

The news was announced by Murphy on Monday (16 September) at a promotional event in Los Angeles.

While the first season of the show told the story of serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, the second season - which will be released on Netflix this week - focuses on the Menendez brothers, who killed their parents in 1989 and received life sentences without the possibility of parole.

At the event on Monday, Murphy also revealed some information about the third season of Monster which will star Charlie Hunnam as serial killer Ed Gein.

Gein brutally murdered two women and created a 'house of horrors' in his home after robbing graves and dismembering bodies.

His heinous crimes - which went on to inspire several terrifying horror movie characters - were discovered when a woman named Bernice Worden went missing in 1957.

When police went to Gein's home to investigate, they found her decapitated and hanging from the ceiling.

After further investigations, they found Gein had been turning body parts into clothes made from human skin, meanwhile he also had organs in jars and skulls used as bowls, in his possession.

When arrested, he not only admitted to the murder of Worden, but a host of other crimes.

He had also taken the life of Mary Hogan, as well as digging up bodies to cut off body parts.

Police tried to link him to other recent murders in the area, but were ultimately unable to do so.

Gein ended up being institutionalised after he was deemed insane at the time of the murders.

He later died of cancer at the age of 77.

While it's not clear when the third season will arrive on Netflix, the second season, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, drops this week.

Brothers Lyle and Erik Menendez shot and killed their parents at their Beverly Hills home in 1989.

During their trial, they argued that they had been sexually abused by their parents for years and that was the reason, while prosecutors argued that they'd been motivated by money.

On the night their parents were killed, the brothers had claimed that they'd gone to see a movie, later finding the bodies of 45-year-old father Jose and 47-year-old mother Kitty.

The couple had been shot multiple times by shotguns, with Lyle having returned to his car to reload.
