It Streams Only on Netflix

Season 4 of Ian Brennan and Ryan Murphy's Monster anthology is a Netflix original, so no cable channel or rental store carries it. Search Monster in the app.

The Cheapest Way In: $8.99

Standard with ads costs $8.99 a month in the US and plays in 1080p Full HD on two screens. Ad-free Standard is $19.99 with the same picture quality.

4K and HDR Need Premium

Premium, at $26.99 a month, is the only plan with 4K Ultra HD and HDR. On your TV, check the show's page for a 4K, HDR or Dolby Vision label.

Save the Season Offline

On an Android phone, iPhone, Fire tablet or Chromebook, open the show and tap Download Season. Use Wi-Fi, then find it under My Netflix > Downloads.

Bingeing on Mobile Data?

In the Netflix app, open App Settings > Cellular Data Usage and pick Save Data. It lowers video quality so eight episodes don't eat your monthly plan.

Phone Casting Mostly Gone

Since late 2025, Netflix won't cast from phones to Chromecast with Google TV or the Google TV Streamer. Open Netflix on the TV itself; ad plans can't cast at all.

Seasons 1 to 3 Came First

Dahmer (2022), the Menendez brothers (2024) and The Ed Gein Story (October 2025) are also on Netflix. Each season stands alone, so you can start with Lizzie.

What the 1893 Jury Decided

Andrew and Abby Borden were killed with a hatchet in August 1892. An all-male jury acquitted Lizzie on June 20, 1893, and no one else was ever convicted.

Your Sept 17 Checklist

Pick your plan, download the season on Wi-Fi, and watch on the TV's own Netflix app. The house where it happened still stands in Fall River today.
