Sinister Twist: Ryan Murphy’s New ‘Monster’ Season Centers on a Barista’s Deadly Mistake
What if all it took to become TV’s next “monster” was a little steamed milk gone awry? Sometimes, I wonder—are our most bone-chilling villains lurking in the shadows, or are they standing right behind the espresso machine, blissfully mishandling our sacred morning rituals? Ryan Murphy, the TV maestro who’s given us nightmares over true crime’s darkest personalities, has officially set his sights somewhere none of us expected: your local coffee shop. And honestly, after a few dozen wrong orders and the gnawing horror of oat milk in a flat white, maybe he’s onto something . If you’ve ever clenched a receipt and whispered, “How hard is an extra shot?”—this season’s probably for you . Dive into delicious satire, frothy drama, and a story so absurd you’ll have to laugh (or cry) into your cup . LEARN MORE.
LOS ANGELES—Saying he was excited to explore the psychology of “one of the 21st century’s greatest villains,” Monster creator Ryan Murphy announced Wednesday that the anthology’s latest season would focus on a barista who made his drink wrong. “I’ve covered killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and the Menendez brothers, but I’ve never done a character study of someone as truly monstrous as the 19-year-old who gave me a lukewarm cappuccino with oat milk instead of the skim flat white with an extra shot I ordered,” said Murphy, who noted that the season, which will take place entirely in the Westwood cafe where the horrific incident occurred, would not shy away from the darkest aspects of the story including the barista’s sociopathic failure to offer a refund and chilling disregard for his request for a beverage sleeve. “Most of us walk around naïve to the fact that people who can’t get a simple goddamn order correct are out there. I mean, a flat white is a basic fucking drink—no syrups, no bullshit. It’s not that hard. It’s unnerving knowing that these sick, idiotic individuals are among us, dragging their feet while they remake our beverages for the third consecutive time.” At press time, the barista’s family had released a statement pleading Murphy to hold the show’s release until the incident had worked its way through the La Colombe HR system.
