Dahmer, who was also known as the “Milwaukee Cannibal” or “Milwaukee Monster,” will be played Evan Peters, and as you’ll see, he gives a haunting performance.
The series examines the gruesome and horrific true crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer and “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.”
The cast also includes Richard Jenkins (The Shape of Water) and Molly Ringwald (Riverdale) as Jeffrey’s father and stepmother Lionel and Shari, along with Michael Learned (The Waltons) and Niecy Nash-Betts (Claws).
