“Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”
From “Horror Story” to horror story, Evan Peters is busy on his next Ryan Murphy project: the upcoming Netflix limited series “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” According to On Location Vacations, the new Murphy and Ian Brennan series will wrap up the week of June 21 filming at multiple locations on Mateo and Willow Streets.
The new series will tell the story of the infamous serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer “through the eyes of his victims, examining Dahmer’s white privilege and the law enforcement involved with a critical lens, depicting at least 10 times that Dahmer was apprehended by police but not prosecuted.” As we reported back in March, “Monster” will star Evan Peters as Dahmer with Niecy Nash starring as Glenda Cleveland, a neighbor of Dahmer’s who alerted police and the FBI of Dahmer’s suspicious behavior, but they did not listen. We got a first look at Peters as Dahmer last month as Twitter’s “American Horror Story” fan account @ahszone shared a short video of the actor in character. Since then, more photos have been revealed of Peters on set. Additional cast members include Penelope Ann Miller, Richard Jenkins, Shaun Brown, and Colin Ford. Janet Mock (“Pose”) will write and direct several episodes. Regular Murphy collaborators and “American Horror Story” casting team Ulrich/Dawson/Kritzer are the casting team behind “Monster.”
