HOUSTON – Charlie Hunnam is taking on a role unlike any he’s played before = serial killer.
In 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ now streaming on Netflix, the actor trades in his usual swagger for something quieter, darker, and far more disturbing.
The series revisits the chilling true story of Ed Gein — a reclusive man from rural Wisconsin whose actions would terrify a nation and inspire countless horror films.
But this isn’t just another retelling of a killer’s story, through Hunnam’s chilling performance and Ryan Murphy’s signature storytelling, Monster dives deep into the psyche of a man shaped by loss, isolation, and a warped sense of devotion.
Unsettling, disturbing, and deeply human — The Ed Gein Story marks a bold new chapter for both Hunnam and Netflix’s acclaimed true-crime anthology.
‘Monster: the Ed Gein Story’ is now streaming on Netflix.
Watch as Charlie chats with Lauren Kelly all about the series, and how he prepared for the role.
