According to Deadline Ryan Murphy’s latest installment of the Monster anthology series has cast Suzanna Son (Red Rocket, The Idol) in a series regular role. Although “details about her character remain under wraps,” the new season will center on infamous serial killer Ed Gein, portrayed by Charlie Hunnam. Gein, known as the “Butcher of Plainfield,” confessed to murdering two women in the 1950s and is said to have created trophies from bodies he exhumed. Gein’s gruesome crimes inspired the character of Leatherface in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974).

Murphy and Ian Brennan, the creators of Monster, continue to captivate audiences with the series, which previously ranked No. 3 on Netflix’s Top 10 list for popular English-language programs, according to Deadline. Fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming season, which will follow Monster‘s pattern of focusing on notorious real-life criminals, though “plot details for the new season are being kept under tight wraps.”

Suzanna Son is gaining recognition for her multifaceted talent. The actress, trained as a pianist, dancer, and vocalist, made her acting debut opposite Simon Rex in Sean Baker’s Red Rocket (2021), a performance that earned her widespread acclaim. According to Deadline, Son was honored with the Ensemble Spotlight Award at the Middleburg Film Festival and received nominations for Breakthrough Performer at the Gotham Independent Film Awards and Best Supporting Female at the 2022 Film Independent Spirit Awards.

Son’s career has also ventured into music. She starred in The Idol on HBO, alongside Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd) and Lily-Rose Depp, where she co-wrote and performed three original songs for the show’s soundtrack. “Her performance and musical contributions made her a standout,” Deadline notes, adding that Son’s live performance debut came when she joined The Weeknd on stage during his world tour in Stockholm.

Suzanna Son’s future is filled with promising opportunities. The actress will next star in Fear Street: Prom Queen, part of Netflix’s Fear Street franchise, which is set to premiere this summer. With her impressive resume and expanding range of roles, Son is poised to continue her rise in Hollywood, with Deadline highlighting her “growing status as a breakout talent.”

As Suzanna Son joins Ryan Murphy’s Monster, her rising star continues to shine in diverse roles across film and television. From her award-winning performance in Red Rocket to her musical debut in The Idol, Son’s talents are evident across multiple platforms. Fans can look forward to seeing her deliver a gripping performance in the highly anticipated new season of Monster, as Deadline reports.
