Evan Peters is set to star in the upcoming Netflix limited-run Dahmer series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. This one comes from American Horror Story creator, Ryan Murphy. The series is once again exploring the cannibalistic, love-sick, serial killer with an entirely new take.
Peters is also somehow perfect to play this role. It worked in our minds, but after seeing the trailer, we can see it will one-thousand percent work in the series as well.
Netflix is giving us another bit of serial killer goodness. This time around the focus is on Jeffrey Dahmer. The 10-episode series stars Evan Peters as the notorious cannibalistic serial killer, Dahmer.
The synopsis for Dahmer goes like this:
“Dahmer chronicles the story of one of America’s most notorious serial killers (Peters), largely told from the point of view of Dahmer’s victims, and dives deeply into the police incompetence and apathy that allowed the Wisconsin native to go on a multiyear killing spree.“
Dahmer: Monster The Jeffrey Dahmer Story already looks incredible and we’ve only seen the trailer. The excitement of Evan Peters playing Dahmer for Ryan Murphy is already perfection.
Murphy has worked with Peters tons of times during the many seasons of American Horror Story. It makes a lot more sense now that Peters hadn’t joined the upcoming season of AHS. It appears that he was busy playing Dahmer.
There have been plenty of great people taking on the role of Dahmer over the years. A lot of them have done fantastic work. However, I’m really looking forward to seeing Murphy and Peters work together on this specific project. The series is going to follow Dahmer from the 60’s to the early 90’s.
