Jimmy Kimmel is the latest late-night television host to face a problem with a network. Just months after Stephen Colbert‘s CBS show was gutted, Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled off the air “indefinitely” after Kimmel made a comment about the murder of Charlie Kirk and the suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC representative said. According to CNN, the spokesperson declined to share further details.

So, what exactly did Kimmel say about Kirk and Robinson? We have the full comment below.

Why Was Jimmy Kimmel Suspended?

While ABC declined to elaborate on Kimmel’s suspension, Nexstar, an ABC affiliate, said it would not broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the “foreseeable future,” adding that it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”

What Did Jimmy Kimmel Say About Charlie Kirk? His Condolences

Shortly after Kirk’s death was announced on September 10, 2025, Kimmel condemned political violence and sent his condolences to the late Turning Point USA founder’s family.

“Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?” Kimmel wrote in an Instagram message. “On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.”

Jimmy Kimmel’s Real Comment About Charlie Kirk & Tyler Robinson

“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during an episode of his late-night show. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

Kimmel then pointed out how Donald Trump responded to a reporter’s question on how he was coping with the death of his late friend Kirk.

“I think very good, and by the way, right there — do you see all the trucks?” the president asked. “They just started construction for the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get as, you know, for about 150 years. And it’s gonna be a beauty.”

Is Jimmy Kimmel Getting Fired?

ABC has not commented on the future of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Therefore, it’s unclear if the late-night comedy show could be canceled. At the time of publication, Kimmel has not been fired; he’s been suspended.

What Is Jimmy Kimmel’s Salary at ABC?

Kimmel’s salary at ABC is around $15 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He has a net worth of about $50 million per year.

Kimmel Replaced by ‘Celebrity Family Feud’ Over Charlie Kirk Comments: Will Show Be Back?

by jummy84 September 18, 2025

written by jummy84

Jimmy Kimmel Live! was replaced by a repeat of Celebrity Family Feud on Wednesday night (September 17) after ABC pulled the late-night show over comments Jimmy Kimmel made about the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Earlier on Wednesday, a spokesperson for Disney’s ABC announced that the late-night talk show would be on indefinite hiatus following comments Kimmel made about Kirk, the conservative activist who was fatally shot while speaking at Utah Valley University on September 10.

The comments people appeared to take offense to were made on Monday’s (September 15) show, when Kimmel said of the alleged shooter, “The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

ABC made the decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! after powerful station group Nexstar announced it would preempt the show on its 32 ABC affiliate stations. Sinclair Broadcast Group later announced it would be doing the same on its own affiliate stations.

Late Wednesday, a memo was sent to the owners of ABC’s more than 150 affiliate station partners, according to Variety. The memo stated that the network would be airing reruns of Celebrity Family Feud in the 11:35 pm slot on Wednesday and Thursday (September 18) in place of Kimmel’s show. “Formal guidance from Disney/ABC is forthcoming,” the memo also noted.

Per Variety, a source close to the situation claims that the network has not yet made a formal decision about the future of the long-running late-night program. Conversations between executives and Kimmel and his representatives were said to be ongoing throughout Wednesday.

It’s unclear whether Kimmel’s show will return on Friday (September 19) or if ABC will air other programming in its place. Sinclair announced it will be airing a special Kirk tribute show on its ABC affiliate stations on Friday and has also encouraged Kimmel to make a “direct apology” and “meaningful personal donation” to the Kirk family.

“Sinclair will not lift the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability,” the company said in a press release. “Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.”

The company is also offering its Kirk tribute special to all other ABC stations across the country.

After the news broke on Wednesday, many viewers and fellow celebrities spoke out against ABC’s move, with some saying it went against free speech and others leveling accusations of “corruption.”

The move comes as Nexstar is pushing for the FCC to change its limits on TV station ownership, which would allow it to acquire rival station group, Tegna. The FCC is currently led by veteran Republican member Brendan Carr, who was hand-picked by President Donald Trump last year.

Shortly after Jimmy Kimmel made comments related to the shooting of late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, ABC (a Disney affiliate) pulled his late-night television show off the air “indefinitely,” according to a September 17, 2025, statement from a representative. So, does this mean he was fired and his show is canceled?

“Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson said. Per CNN, the rep declined to share further details.

The news comes on the heels of fellow late-night comedian Stephen Colbert‘s cancelation, which was confirmed by CBS this past summer. Colbert’s show ended up winning an Emmy Award.

Below, find out what Kimmel’s “indefinite” hiatus means for him and his show.

Was Jimmy Kimmel Fired by ABC?

Not necessarily, but an “indefinite” break from ABC hints at a future cancelation. ABC did not verify whether his show is actually canceled, or if he was fired.

However, Nexstar, an ABC-affiliated station, said it won’t broadcast Kimmel’s show for the “foreseeable future,” per CNN, adding that it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”

What Does ABC Mean by ‘Pre-Empted Indefinitely’ for Kimmel?

ABC declined to elaborate any further on the matter, but a spokesperson said Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be “pre-empted indefinitely,” meaning that the late-night show has been stalled from airing for now.

What Did Jimmy Kimmel Say About Charlie Kirk? His Comments

Kimmel actually condemned the shooting of Kirk, which took place at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.

“Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human?” Kimmel wrote on Instagram after Kirk died. “On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.”

What Did Jimmy Kimmel Say About Tyler Robinson?

After Tyler Robinson was named the primary suspect in Kirk’s murder, Kimmel said, “The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live for Charlie Kirk Shooter Comment

by jummy84 September 18, 2025

written by jummy84

Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been pulled off the air by ABC indefinitely following comments made by Kimmel about the death of Charlie Kirk.

The network’s decision followed a series of dramatic developments on Wednesday, including a stern warning from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr directed at ABC, and a subsequent announcement from Nexstar, one of the nation’s largest owners of local TV stations, that it would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The uproar stems from comments Kimmel made during his monologues earlier in the week. “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during Monday’s monologue.

He followed that up on Tuesday by criticizing JD Vance and “many in Maga-land [who] are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.” After dismissing Vance’s claim that “most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far left,” Kimmel countered by asking, “Who wanted to hang the guy who was vice president before you? Was that the liberal left? Or the toothless army who stormed the Capitol on January 6?”

During a podcast appearance on Wednesday, Carr called on Kimmel to apologize and threatened the FCC licenses of ABC affiliates. “What people don’t understand is that the broadcasters … have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest,” Carr said. “When we see stuff like this, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

Nexstar, which is also amid a multi-billion merger that requires FCC approval, promptly announced that it would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! “for the foreseeable future.” “Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are oﬀensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said in a statement. “Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the diﬃcult decision to preempt his show in an eﬀort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue.”

ABC itself soon followed suit, announcing that Kimmel’s show would be suspended indefinitely.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kimmel had planned to address the controversy on tonight’s episode, but has no plans to apologize.

With the Late Show with Stephen Colbert set to end in May 2026, only NBC’s late-night shows remain unaffected by the current political climate at this time. What happens next remains to be seen, but Kimmel’s current contract at ABC expires in 2026, and he told People magazine in February 2024 that it could be his last. He also recently obtained Italian citizenship.

Jimmy Kimmel Being Pulled Indefinitely by ABC over Charlie Kirk Comments

by jummy84 September 18, 2025

Jimmy Kimmel and his late night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” are being “pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC Spokesperson told IndieWire.

Several affiliate stations, including the largest in the country Nexstar, had objected to recent remarks by Kimmel about Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and in the wake of multiple threats, ABC and parent company Disney have taken that next step.

“Nexstar’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show. Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”

The FCC chairman Brendan Carr also threatened earlier this week fines against Disney if Kimmel was not off the air.

On Monday, Kimmel said during his monologue, “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

Kimmel also played a clip during Tuesday’s monologue of Vice President JD Vance hosting Kirk’s show, calling Vance’s remarks on the program “complete bullshit” when the VP claimed it was a “statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the left.”

“And by statistical fact, he means complete bullshit. So much so that the Department of Justice just removed the study that showed white supremacy and violence from far-right groups is the greatest source of domestic terror and violence in the United States. Who wanted to hang the guy who was vice president before you? Was that the liberal left or the toothless army who stormed the Capitol on January 6? The President and his henchmen are doing their best to fan the flames so they can, I guess, attack people on the dangerous left. Which is it, are they dangerous? Are they a bunch of sissy pickleball players because they’re too scared to get hit by tennis balls, or a well organized, deadly team of commandos? Because they can’t be both of those things.”

Kimmel following Kirk’s death also posted on Instagram asking, “Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.”

Kimmel’s show was nominated for a Primetime Emmy this year, and Kimmel himself won an Emmy this year for hosting “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?” Kimmel has been on ABC since 2003 and has twice hosted the Oscars, which also air on ABC.

It’s unclear if ABC intends to replace Kimmel with another host or would keep a late night show at all. The Kimmel news comes in the wake of Stephen Colbert’s “The Late Show” also ending come next year. Paramount in announcing the show’s cancellation said it was due to the amount of money the show loses, but the announcement came shortly after Paramount settled Trump’s lawsuit with CBS News and “60 Minutes,” prompting some politicians to speculate that the cancellation was politically motivated.

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel’s show indefinitely over Charlie Kirk death monologue – National

written by jummy84

ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely after comments that he made about Charlie Kirk’s killing led a group of ABC-affiliated stations to say it would not air the show

Kimmel, the veteran late-night comic, made several comments about the reaction to Kirk’s assassination on his show Monday and Tuesday nights. He said that “many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.”

ABC, which has aired Kimmel’s late-night show since 2003, moved swiftly after Nexstar Communications Group said it would pull the show starting Wednesday.

Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s death “are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse,” said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. Nexstar operates 23 ABC affiliates.

There was no immediate comment from Kimmel.

President Donald Trump celebrated ABC’s move on the social media site Truth Social, writing: “Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done.”

He also targeted two other late-night hosts, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, and said they should be canceled too, calling them “two total losers.”

On Twitter Wednesday night, White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich posted: “Welcome to Consequence Culture. Normal, common sense Americans are no longer taking the b———- and companies like ABC are finally willing to do the right and reasonable thing.”

In his monologue on Monday, Kimmel said that “we hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

Kimmel said that Trump’s response to Kirk’s death “is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish, OK?” He also said that FBI chief Kash Patel has handled the investigation into the murder “like a kid who didn’t read the book, BS’ing his way through an oral report.”

He returned to the topic on Tuesday night, mocking Vice President JD Vance’s performance as guest host for Kirk’s podcast.

He said Trump was “fanning the flames” by attacking people on the left.

“Which is it, are they a bunch of sissy pickleball players because they’re too scared to be hit by tennis balls, or a well-organized deadly team of commandos, because they can’t be both of those things.”

Authorities say Tyler Robinson, 22, who is charged with killing Kirk, grew up in a conservative household in southern Utah but was enmeshed in “leftist ideology.”

His parents told investigators he had turned politically left and pro-LGBTQ rights in the last year.

Utah records show he was registered as a voter, but not affiliated with either political party. His voter status is inactive, meaning he did not vote in two regular general elections.

He told his transgender partner that he targeted Kirk because he “had enough of his hatred.”

Kimmel, like CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert, has consistently been critical of President Donald Trump and many of his policies on his ABC show.

CBS said this past summer that it was canceling Colbert’s show at the end of this season for financial reasons, although some critics have wondered if his stance on Trump played a role.

Trump Reacts to Jimmy Kimmel Live! Suspended Over Charlie Kirk Comments

by jummy84 September 18, 2025

written by jummy84

It’s safe to assume that Donald Trump is likely jumping with joy over Jimmy Kimmel Live! getting suspended by ABC over host Jimmy Kimmel’s viral comments about Charlie Kirk.

After attending a state dinner earlier in the evening, the president took to Truth Social at 1 a.m. in the U.K., writing, “Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT”

Though Trump called the show canceled, ABC only suspended it “indefinitely.”

Kimmel drew heat from Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr after he suspected Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson was a MAGA Republican during his opening monologue on Tuesday night’s show. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said at the time.

On Wednesday, Carr condemned the late-night host’s comments and threatened to take action against ABC affiliates over Kimmel’s comments. “[This] appears to be an action by Jimmy Kimmel to play into the narrative that this was somehow a MAGA or Republican-motivated person,” Carr said on a podcast. “What people don’t understand is that the broadcasters … have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest. When we see stuff like this, look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

Nexstar, which owns 28 ABC affiliates across the country, was the first to pre-empt the series for the immediate future. Then an ABC network spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be “pre-empted indefinitely.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger worried for US democracy following Charlie Kirk assassination

17 September 2025

Arnold Schwarzenegger fears that democracy could disappear in the United States.

Arnold Schwarzenegger fears for US democracy

The Terminator actor – who served as Governor of California between 2003 and 2011 – is worried that the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah last week points towards a grim future for the country as the political divide between the Republican and Democratic parties continues to widen.

Speaking at the University of Southern California, Arnie said: “We have to be very careful that we don’t get closer to the cliff. Because when you fall down that cliff, down there, there is no democracy.

“We have to be very, very careful. I think it’s very important that we turn this around and that we show people power. Because the people can turn this around, the people have the ultimate power.”

Schwarzenegger – a critic of US President Donald Trump – has implored Americans to “make a difference” by taking up their right to vote.

Meanwhile, Arnie added that it is “unbelievable” that Kirk was murdered for having a “different opinion” to others.

The 78-year-old star said: “I was very, very upset that someone’s life has was taken because they have a different opinion. It’s just unbelievable.

“This was a great communicator, a great advocate for the right – for Republican causes. He had such a great way of communicating with the students that agreed or disagreed with him.”

He added of Kirk: “It’s a human being. A human life is gone.

“And he was a great father, a great husband. I was thinking about his children. They will only be reading about him now, instead of him reading to them bedtime stories.”

The suspect in Kirk’s shooting, Tyler Robinson, was charged with aggravated murder on Tuesday (16.09.25) and Schwarzenegger feels that the divisions that exist in society are to blame for the political violence.

The Total Recall actor said: “We have to acknowledge that the cause of all this is the social media companies that are dividing us, the mainstream media companies that are dividing us.

“The political parties: the Democrats that are dividing us, the Republicans that are dividing us. We’re getting hit from so many different angles, and we have to be very careful that we don’t get closer to that cliff.”

However, Trump suggested earlier this week that he “couldn’t care less” about healing political rifts as he took aim at left-wing “radicals”.

The president told Fox and Friends: “I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less. The radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime.

“The radicals on the left are the problem – and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy. They want men in women’s sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders. The worst thing that happened to this country.”

Charlie Hunnam Is Nightmarish in Full Trailer

by jummy84 September 15, 2025

written by jummy84

Charlie Hunnam has fully transformed into a monster in the full trailer for Monster: The Ed Gein Story.

Hunnam plays the haunting serial killer in the third season of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan‘s Netflix horror anthology series, and the official and full trailer (below) lives up to the streamer hyping this season as the most harrowing yet in the Monster franchise. All episodes release Oct. 3.

Gein’s horrific legacy inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs, becoming the “blueprint for modern horror.” The first footage had explored Gein’s house-of-horrors home being investigated by police who were so disturbed, they could barely go through what they found, and ended with a haunting conversation between Gein and his mother, who is played by Laurie Metcalf.

The official trailer now exposes Gein’s nightmarish proclivities, as he is seen committing several murders and literally trying on (and dancing around in) the skins of his victims. Hunnam also reveals the mannerisms and voice he took on to play Gein, which he previously spoke about when discussing his research for the part.

Monster: The Ed Gein Story follows the first two Monster seasons, The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and the Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, respectively. Each cycle of the franchise tackles a different true-crime story, following the massive success of the series’ 2022 debut.

Gein is the serial murderer and body snatcher often referred to as “the Butcher of Plainfield” who gained notoriety in the 1950s for his crimes. The logline explains that “driven by isolation, psychosis and an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Gein’s perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades.”

The cast for Monster: The Ed Gein Story also includes Tom Hollander (as Alfred Hitchcock) and Suzanna Son, with Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Charlie Hall, Tyler Jacob Moore, Mimi Kennedy, Will Brill and Robin Weigert.

Executive producers include co-creators Murphy and Brennan, along with Max Winkler, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, Nissa Diederich, Louise Shore, Carl Franklin and Hunnam. Brennan and Max Winkler are directors on the series.

Scary Full Trailer for ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ with Charlie Hunnam

“You’re the one who can’t look away…” Netflix has revealed the full official trailer for the scary new horror series titled Monster: The Ed Gein Story, the third season of Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s ongoing “Monster” series for Netflix. This time they’re focusing on the infamous, iconic serial killer known as Ed Gein, the basis for Hitchcock’s Psycho and Hooper’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre (and many other horror stories). This is a fictionalized version of his real story, embellished to make into a Netflix series, not a true crime doc – starring Charlie Hunnam as Eddie Gein. Hunnam adds: “This is going to be the really human, tender, unflinching, no-holds-barred exploration of who Ed was and what he did. But who he was being at the center of it, rather than what he did.” Murphy adds: “The thesis of every season is: are monsters born or are they made? I think in Ed’s case, it’s probably a little of both.” Monster: The Ed Gein Story tells the story of how one simple man in Plainfield, WI became history’s most singular ghoul. He revealed to the world the most horrific truth of all: monsters aren’t born, they’re made… by us. Also stars Tom Hollander, Laurie Metcalf, & Suzanna Son. Plus: Vicky Krieps, Olivia Williams, Lesley Manville, Joey Pollari, Charlie Hall, Tyler Jacob Moore, Mimi Kennedy, Will Brill, Robin Weigert. This looks freaky! Hunnam looks quite scary…

Here’s the two trailers (+ posters) for Netflix’s horror series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, via YouTube:

Monster: The Ed Gein Story Poster

“You’re the one that can’t look away.” Serial killer. Grave robber. Psycho. In the frozen fields of 50s rural Wisconsin, a friendly, mild-mannered recluse named Eddie Gein (starring Charlie Hunnam) lived quietly on a decaying farm – hiding a house of horrors so gruesome it would redefine the American nightmare. Driven by isolation, psychosis & an all-consuming obsession with his mother, Ed’s perverse crimes birthed a new kind of monster that would haunt Hollywood for decades. From Psycho to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein’s macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image and ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant. Ed Gein didn’t just influence a genre — he became the blueprint for modern horror. Monster: The Ed Gein Story (and the on-going “Monster” series) is created by storytellers Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan (“Glee”, “Scream Queens”, “Hollywood”, “The Politician”, “Ratched”, “The Watcher”). With episodes written and directed by Ian Brennan; and other episodes directed by filmmaker Max Winkler. Exec produced by Ryan Murphy, Ian Brennan, Max Winkler, Eric Kovtun, Scott Robertson, Nissa Diederich, Louise Shore, Carl Franklin, Charlie Hunnam. Netflix will debut Monster: The Ed Gein Story series streaming on Netflix starting on October 3rd, 2025 coming up.
