The pair will respectively play Jose and Kitty Menendez, the Beverly Hills couple murdered by sons Lyle (Chavez) and Erik (Koch).
Lane will play writer and investigative journalist Dominick Dunne who covered the Menendez brothers trial for Vanity Fair. Dunne is also known for his coverage of the O.J. Simpsons trial, which was the subject of Murphy’s Emmy-winning The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story. Lane played “Dream Team” member F. Lee Bailey in the series, making this a return to the true-crime anthology genre and a reunion with Murphy.
