Netflix's crime-horror anthology series "Monster" returns for a fourth season on 17 September, this time focusing on Lizzie Borden, the woman acquitted of axing her parents to death in 1892 but who remains widely suspected of the crime. Created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the series follows infamous American criminal cases and has become one of Netflix's flagship shows, with its debut season becoming one of the platform's most-watched English-language series ever despite poor critical reviews.

Previous seasons covered Jeffrey Dahmer, the Menendez brothers, and Ed Gein, but Borden marks the show's first female "monster". The new instalment explores what may have driven a young woman from a comfortable background to commit such violence. The article also notes other September Netflix releases, including returning shows "The Gentlemen", "Fauda" and "Stranger Things: Tales From '85", alongside new international dramas such as "The Doll" (Poland), "Not a Stranger" (Turkey) and "Habeas Corpus" (Brazil).
