Ryan Murphy has just announced his newest project: a biopic series of gay serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.Deadline reports that Murphy will produce the new show for Netflix along with longtime collaborator Ian Brennan.
Janet Mock and Carl Franklin will also direct the show, with Mock also set to write episodes as well.Jeffrey Dahmer became a household name after the revelation that he had seduced, murdered, and eaten at least 17 men during the 1980s and 90s in the American midwest.
His story took an even more scandalous turn when it was revealed law enforcement could have stopped and apprehended his killing spree on at least 10 occasions, though Dahmer’s status as a young, white man often allowed him to escape detection.
