Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein in the new season of Monster

After seasons dedicated to Jeffrey Dahmer and The Menéndez Brothers proved to be big (though divisive) hits for Netflix, the third instalment of the true crime anthology series Monster follows one of the most infamous serial killers in history, Ed Gein.

The latest iteration of Ryan Murphy’s show already has viewers gripped, appalled and terrified in equal amounts, featuring Charlie Hunnam as Gein, the 1950s murderer who killed and desecrated the bodies of multiple women in rural Wisconsin.

Like previous outings of Monster, The Ed Gein Story breaks down its central figure’s personality and what led to him becoming one of history’s most notorious killers.

But Charlie Hunnam isn’t the only big name in the new season Monster. If you thought one or two members of the cast looked familiar, here is where you have likely seen them before…

Charlie Hunnam

Before he was cast as the new lead in Monster, you may have known Charlie Hunnam better as Jax Teller in biker drama Sons Of Anarchy, or for his groundbreaking performance as Nathan in Russell T Davies’ original Queer As Folk in 1999

The Newcastle-born actor’s screen career has led to him playing the lead in Guillermo Del Toro’s monster blockbuster Pacific Rim, and working again with the director in gothic romance Crimson Peak.

His other film roles include The Lost City of Z and Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of The Sword and The Gentlemen. His most recent film role was in Zack Snyder’s poorly-received sci-fi epic Rebel Moon.

Around a decade ago, Charlie was also cast as the lead in Fifty Shades Of Grey, but backed out at before filming began, with the part later going to Jamie Dornan. In a recent interview with Variety, Charlie insisted he has no regrets in leaving the role, and hasn’t “looked back” since.

Suzanna Son

Suzanna Son stars as Adeline Watkins, a woman who was romantically involved with the murderer Ed Gein.

The American actor first found fame playing Strawberry in Sean Baker’s 2021 film, Red Rocket, and she’s also no stranger to Netflix horror, having played Megan in Fear Street: Prom Queen.

She later had a role in The Weeknd’s ill-fated drama The Idol, playing Chloe, a member of Tedros’ cult.

Outside of her acting career, Suzanna is also a musician, with her version of NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye even appearing on the soundtrack to Red Rocket.
