Sarah Paulson is set to take on a starring role in the fourth season of Ryan Murphy’s popular anthology series, “Monster,” slated to return next year.

Renowned for her numerous collaborations with Murphy, particularly in the “American Horror Story” series, Paulson will step into the shoes of infamous serial killer Aileen Wuornos, according to a report by Variety.

Currently, Paulson is in the final stages of negotiations to join Murphy and Ian Brennan’s Netflix series, with production already in progress in Los Angeles.

The actress, who has frequently collaborated with Murphy for his American Horror Story series, will be making an appearance as she portrays serial killer Aileen Wuornos, per Variety.

Paulson is reportedly in final talks in the deal to star in Murphy and Ian Brennan’s Netflix series as production is currently underway in Los Angeles.

Season four will focus on the story of the axe murder of Lizzie Borden’s father and stepmother. Borden was accused of the killings but was infamously acquitted at trial. 

Lizzie Borden will be played by Ella Beatty in the show.

The next installment could presumably examine Borden’s influence on perceptions of women who kill, from historical cases to figures like Wuornos.

The previous season starring Charlie Hunnam’s Ed Gein also explored the lasting impact of the serial killer’s crimes on pop culture and film. 

The next installment of the series also features Hunnam in the role of Andrew Borden, Lizzie’s father.

The all-star cast also includes Vicky Krieps as Bridget Sullivan, the Borden family’s maid, and Rebecca Hall as Abby Borden, Lizzie’s stepmother. 

Billie Lourd will play Emma Borden, Lizzie’s younger sister, while Jessica Barden will play Nance O’Neill, Lizzie’s friend and confidante. 

Wuornos was convicted of the murder of seven men in Florida, where she was later executed in 2002. 

Her notorious crimes have been the subject of many shows and films. 

In a 2003 film Monster, not to be confused with the anthology series, Charlize Theron portrayed Wuornos and went on to win the Academy Award for best actress with her performance. 

Lily Rabe is also another actress who portrayed Wuornos, starring in the fifth season of Murphy’s American Horror Story.
