Jeffrey Dahmer

Netflix has released the trailer for Dahmer Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, from Ryan Murphy, with Evan Peters in a horrific turn as serial killer ...

“Over the course of 10 powerful episodes, Dahmer shines a spotlight on the as-yet untold stories of Dahmer’s victims, the people who tried to stop him and the systemic failures that enabled him to continue his murderous spree for over a decade. Murphy and Brennan also have true-crime miniseries The Watcher, starring Naomi Watts, Bobby Cannavale and Jennifer Coolidge, debuting in the fall. In her report of the most anticipated scripted shows for the year, He also spoke about being respectful to the victims: “You need to have certain plot points because he did do these things, but you don’t need to embellish them. [a video from Netflix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvQP-85ADRE), Peters describes Dahmer — whose killings involved necrophilia, cannibalism and preserving body parts as mementos — as docile, aloof and someone who “almost disassociated” from what he did. The first trailer, which dropped Friday, focuses on the relationship between Jeffrey and Glenda, as Glenda tries but fails to get the attention of police after witnessing questionable behavior, including bad smells and the sounds of screams and power tools all night, coming from her neighbor and his apartment. Which is why we needed two trailers to properly showcase the complex story,” read a post from the Ryan Murphy Productions Instagram account. The trailer ends on the precipice of a showdown between the neighbors, as Jeffrey quietly but forcefully asks her to eat a sandwich he prepared for her. Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer gruesomely took the lives of 17 innocent victims. [THR‘s Lesley Goldberg noted that Netflix has high expectations](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/most-anticipated-new-tv-shows-2022-1235064276/) for the series from the Glee and American Crime Story co-creators to be a commercial hit. According to the show’s description, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story exposes these unconscionable crimes, centered around the underserved victims and their communities impacted by the systemic racism and institutional failures of the police that allowed one of America’s most notorious serial killers to continue his murderous spree in plain sight for over a decade.
