Dahmer – Monster trailer released: Release date, cast, plot, all you need to know

The trailer for Netflix’s upcoming limited series Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (also known as Dahmer) has been made public. It stars Evan Peters as the notorious serial killer who murdered 17 people before being caught in 1991.

The drama series, which stars Peters as the infamous American serial killer, tells Dahmer’s side of the tale and demonstrates how he came dangerously close to being apprehended at least ten times but always managed to escape punishment. His white privilege and the shortcomings of the police played a large role in this.

In order to create hits like Glee, Scream Queens, and The Politician, Ryan Murphy teamed up with fellow writer and producer Ian Brennan once more. So be prepared to witness some horrific subject matter.

Plot 

Looking at the events from Dahmer’s perspective and demonstrating how he repeatedly evaded capture due to the authorities’ racial prejudice, Monster: the Jeffrey Dahmer Story offers a new perspective on the Jeffrey Dahmer story. Due to police irresponsibility, when a 14-year-old Laotian boy attempted to flee Dahmer’s apartment in 1991, the police instead handed the terrified child back to the man after he claimed they were a couple involved in an argument. After killing the boy, Dahmer defiled his body. He was sentenced to 16 consecutive life terms after being found guilty, and he later admitted, “I made my fantasy life more powerful than my real one.”
