This October, Netflix is bringing us a peek into the real life of the serial killer Aileen Wuornos with Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers. She might appear as a monster, but there is always a backstory behind the making of such an evil personality. We will look into that too.
Emily Turner, who is known for 24 Hours in Police Custody (2014) and Kids on the Edge (2016), has directed the documentary. BBC Studios Documentary Unit and NBC News Studios are producing.
There will be many interviews in the documentary that will give us a clearer picture of the person who was Aileen Wuornos and how her life became a series of killings. This will also include archival footage by the late Michele Gillen, the Dateline correspondent who passed away in 2021.
We will now look into the details of this upcoming documentary that's likely to give more insights into the life of Aileen Wuornos.
When will Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers be released?
The Netflix documentary will be released on October 30, 2025. It will be the only documentary coming in on the date, but Netflix has scheduled more of them for the remaining year. This includes:
- Being Eddie (November 12, 2025)
- Eloá the Hostage: Live on TV (November 12, 2025)
- Selena y Los Dinos: A Family's Legacy (November 17, 2025)
- The Carman Family Deaths (November 19, 2025)
- The New Yorker at 100 (December 5, 2025)
Where will Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers be streaming?
It will be available for streaming on Netflix only, beginning on the date of the release.
Is there a trailer for the documentary?
There is a trailer of Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers on YouTube that shows us some bits and pieces of what to expect from it. We can see Aileen Wuornos saying that:
"The real Aileen Wuornos is not a serial killer. I was so lost that I turned into one."
If we look into the life of Aileen, there is a lot we can find that explains why she became the monster she was.
During her killing spree, she killed seven men, whom she has accused of either attempting to rape or raping her. Her victims include Richard Charles Mallory, David Andrew Spears, Charles Edmund Carskaddon, Peter Abraham Siems, Troy Eugene Burress, Charles Richard "Dick" Humphreys, and Walter Gino Antonio.
Over the years, her story has been adapted into TV and films, of which the most popular adaptation would be Charlize Theron's portrayal in the 2003 film, Monster, for which the actress won the Academy Award for Best Actress.
At the beginning of the trailer, we can also hear a voice saying that:
"In 1997, Aileen said that "I and going to tell you the truth of my life and give you this interview.""
She died on October 9, 2002, from execution by lethal injection.
