Netflix just released a trailer for their upcoming series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story four days ago, and now a second trailer has already arrived online! You can watch it in the embed above. The ten episode limited series will be available to watch on the Netflix streaming service as of September 21st.
American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy created Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story with Ian Brennan. They also wrote the first four episodes together. Other writers credited on the show include Janet Mock, David McMillan, Reilly Smith, and Todd Kubrak. Mock is a director on the show, as are Paris Barclay and Carl Franklin.
Evan Peters, who had roles in several seasons of American Horror Story, plays Dahmer in Monster. The series will tell us about
real-life serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who murdered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. Primarily told from the perspective of Dahmer’s victims, the series will reportedly take place from the 1960s to early 1990s. Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story will also explore the incompetence of the Wisconsin police during the murder investigations, allowing Dahmer to continue his killing spree.
Peters is joined in the cast by Molly Ringwald, Niecy Nash, Michael Beach, Michael Learned, Penelope Ann Miller, Shaun J. Brown, Colin Ford, Dyllón Burnside, and Richard Jenkins. Netflix has released a batch of character posters that feature several of the actors on that list, and you can check those out at the bottom of this article.
