THE HORRORS unleashed by serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer are retold through the eyes of his victims in an eponymous TV series.
In a miniseries brought to audiences by Netflix and Ryan Murphy, the murders perpetrated by Dahmer are chronicled from the victims’ perspectives.
In June 2021, Evan Peters was spotted while filming for Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
Who is in the cast of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story?
In June 2021, principal photography and filming went underway for Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
Taking on the role of the titular serial killer is frequent Ryan Murphy collaborator Evan Peters.
Previously, Murphy and Peters teamed up for Pose and various seasons of American Horror Story.
On Tuesday, June 8, Peters was photographed in Los Angeles as Dahmer while shooting for the miniseries.
Regarding his turn as Dahmer in the project, the Emmy Award-winning actor told Variety: “I’ve read so much, I’ve watched so much, I’ve seen so much, and at a certain point, you’ve got to say, ‘All right, that’s enough.’
“There are beautifully written scripts. You can have all the backstory you want, but at the end of the day, we’re not making a documentary.
“It’s more about maintaining the idea and the through-line of why you’re telling the story and always having that as your guiding light.”
The WandaVision star shared: “But there’s so much material for Dahmer that I think it’s incredibly important to make it really authentic.
“You can play around with levels of naturalism and understatedness, versus the zany, over-the-top, ‘this is very clearly a TV show meant for entertainment.’
“It’s almost a scene by scene, episode by episode, moment by moment basis, deciding: ‘Okay yeah he did that there in real life’ or ‘No he didn’t do that there, but that’s okay because it works for the story we’re trying to tell.'”
Past Ryan Murphy collaborator Niecy Nash joins Peters in the crime drama as Dahmer’s real-life neighbor Glenda Cleveland.
Nash said to Netflix Queue of her experience in the role: “My first introduction to Jeffrey Dahmer and his story was hearing something on the news and then hearing my parents talk.

“Glenda was one of his victims too and her story has been told the least.
“Heavy is the head that wears the crown to tell this story as it had never been done before.”
The actress further explained: “That comes with a lot of responsibility because you want to make sure you get it right.
“The theme of this entire piece is timeless. You still have communities that are being underserved, and being over-policed in the wrong way.
“We have people crying out for change and to be heard by the powers that be.”
Niecy added: “She deserved way more than a little cheesy plaque in the bottom of a social hall somewhere.
“She deserved way more than the police to step in front of her and say, ‘Look what we did. Look what we tried to do.'”
Oscar-nominated actor Richard Jenkins and Carlito’s Way star Penelope Ann Miller portray Dahmer’s parents Lionel and Joyce.
Riverdale and Breakfast Club actress Molly Ringwald plays his stepmother Shari Dahmer.
Michael Learned, Colin Ford, and Shaun J Brown round out the cast.
When is the release date?
On September 21, 2022, viewers can watch Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story when it becomes exclusively available to Netflix subscribers.
“We had one rule going into this from Ryan that it would never be told from Dahmer’s point of view,” describes Peters.
“The Jeffrey Dahmer story is so much bigger than just him.”
That Wednesday, all 10 episodes of the program are scheduled for release.
