Netflix has released the official trailer of Ryan Murphy’s true crime series “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” starring “American Horror Story” alum Evan Peters in the titular role.
In the 10-episode limited series, serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991, is followed in his life. The series, which would purportedly cover the 1960s through the early 1990s, will primarily be recounted from the viewpoint of Dahmer’s victims. The documentary “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” will also look at the Wisconsin police’s negligence during the murder investigations, which allowed Dahmer to carry on his murderous rampage.
Brennan has been a longtime collaborator of Murphy’s, with the two most recently co-creating “The Politician” on Netflix, starring Ben Platt, Zoey Deutch, and Lucy Boynton. Murphy and Brennan also served as co-creators and showrunners on “Glee,” “Scream Queens” and “Hollywood.”
Peters, who appeared in nine seasons of “American Horror Story,” reunites with “AHS” creator Murphy for the limited series. Peters also starred in eight episodes of Murphy’s “Pose” as Stan Bowes.
“Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” will be released on Netflix on Wednesday, Sept. 21.
