Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for Ryan Murphy’s new series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, starring Evan Peters.
Back in 2021, Deadline reported that Murphy and Ian Brennan were creating a show chronicling the infamous story of one of the most notorious serial killers in the world.
Between 1978 and 1991, the Milwaukee native murdered and dismembered 17 men, with many of his later murders including necrophilia and cannibalism.
However unlike other Dahmer-focused adaptations, Murphy’s series will be told from the point of view of his victims. It’s also set to tackle the police incompetence and Dahmer’s white privilege, as his attractive and clean-cut image resulted in lenient ‘punishments’ from authorities and judges.
