The creative brainchild of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the nine-episode series dives into the notorious murder cases of José and Kitty Menendez.
The wealthy couple was brutally murdered in their Beverly Hills home on August 20, 1989, and their sons, Lyle and Erik, were later found guilty. Following the successful investigations, the brothers were convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to kill and were sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of release. However, the four walls of the prison did not prevent the brothers from living an ordinary life, as the two felons found love in their way.
