"Yet, as season four will not focus on the crimes of Wuornos, and the season will be set around 100 years before Wuornos' killing spree began, it's likely that Paulson's role as the serial killer will be minor. In season three, which focussed on Gein, secondary plots explored how the killer came to influence popular culture. Wuornos' presence in season four will likely be similar, exploring how Borden influenced the perception of female murderers a century later."
"Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002 aged 46 while in Florida State Prison, was found guilty of six counts of first-degree murder. Between 1989 and 1990, while she was working as a sex worker in Florida, Wuornos killed seven male motorists who were her clients. She was convicted of six of the murders and sentenced to death. At the time, Wuornos was in a relationship with her girlfriend, Tyria Moore."
Sarah Paulson is set to star in Netflix's crime anthology Monster as Aileen Wuornos, with production on season four currently underway and Paulson nearing a deal. Season four will focus on the 1892 trial and acquittal of Lizzie Borden for the axe murders of her father and stepmother in Massachusetts. Paulson's portrayal of Wuornos will likely be a minor or secondary plotline positioned about a century before Wuornos' killing spree, exploring how Borden influenced perceptions of female murderers. Previous Monster seasons focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, the Menendez brothers, and Ed Gein. Aileen Wuornos killed seven male motorists between 1989 and 1990, was convicted of six murders, and was executed in 2002. Charlize Theron previously portrayed Wuornos in Monster, winning Best Actress at the 2004 Academy Awards. Ella Beatty will portray Lizzie Borden.
