Evan Peters has found another interesting role in his already amazing career. The WandaVision star has just been confirmed to play real-life serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in an upcoming Netflix series.
Variety confirms that Peters will take the lead role in Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story that is being produced by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan. He will be joined by Penelope Anne Miller and Richard Jenkins, who will play Dahmer's parents. In addition to that, Niecy Nash has been cast as Glenda Cleveland, Dahmer's neighbor who had called the police and FBI to report his suspicious behavior.
The new series, which will air on Netflix, has also added Shaun Brown and Colin Ford for supporting roles. Ford will portray one of Dahmer's potential victims who managed to escape.
Interestingly, Dahmer isn't even the first killer that Peters will play for a Ryan Murphy series. He previously portrayed David Koresh, Jim Jones, and Charles Manson in American Horror Story: Cult. Needless to say, it's not a huge surprise that Murphy has called on his frequent collaborator again to play the infamous cannibal.
Dahmer is one of the most infamous serial killers of all time. The killer murdered and raped several young men in over two decades, consuming some of their remains while keeping the rest in vats of acid. The upcoming series is expected to be a disturbing look into the mind of a deranged killer.
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has not yet been given an official release date. However, it is expected to air on Netflix. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
