Season chronology

Monster: The Zodiac Killer is an upcoming American crime drama television miniseries created by Jane Holloway for HBO. It is the fifth season of the Monster anthology, following Monster: The John Wayne Gacy Story (2026), Monster: The Bernie Madoff Story (2027), Monster: The Son of Sam Story (2029), and Monster: The Milwaukee Murders (2031).

Premise

The season will dramatize the crimes of the unidentified Zodiac Killer, whose cryptic ciphers, taunting letters, and unsolved murders terrorized California during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The narrative is expected to explore the mystery, paranoia, and cultural obsession surrounding the case, while emphasizing the enduring impact of an unresolved identity.

Production

On February 2, 2032, HBO announced that Monster would return for a fifth season titled The Zodiac Killer.[1]

In March 2032, showrunner Jane Holloway discussed the creative direction for Season 5, explaining that it would blend the roots of Season 1 with the broader scope of Season 2.[2] Holloway emphasized that the season would not attempt to solve the Zodiac mystery, but instead highlight the atmosphere of random fear and the cultural obsession it inspired.

On May 9, 2032, HBO confirmed that the season will premiere on October 17, 2032, and consist of eight weekly episodes ranging from 60 to 80 minutes.[3] Holloway stated that the expanded runtime would allow the series to explore multiple dimensions of the case, including the murders, the infamous ciphers, the press coverage, police investigations, and the cultural legacy of the unsolved killings.
