Over his many shows, super producer Ryan Murphy has portrayed several serial killers, from Andrew Cunanan in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story to Richard Ramirez in American Horror Story. Now it’s Jeffrey Dahmer‘s turn. This week marks the premiere of Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a 10-episode Netflix miniseries that closely explores how this man was able to murder 17 boys and men.
Unlike other projects about Dahmer, Monster doesn’t seek to humanize or even explain its central figure. Instead, it’s centered around his victims as it examines the systematic failures that led to so much bloodshed. Consider this your guide to everything you need to know about this new series.

What Time Will Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story Be on Netflix?

Is There a Trailer for Netflix’s Jeffrey Dahmer Show?
There certainly is, and it’s every bit as tense as this story deserves. In the trailer, Dahmer (Evan Peters) lets a young man into his apartment. It isn’t long before his guest curls up his nose and mentions a smell. That’s when the horror begins. Scroll above to watch the trailer for yourself.
Who’s in the Cast of Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story on Netflix?
The two biggest names in this latest Murphy project are Evan Peters and Niecy Nash. Peters portrays Dahmer himself, the infamous serial killer who was responsible for the murder and dismemberment of 17 boys and young men. Nash portrays Glenda Cleveland, Dahmer’s neighbor. Repeatedly, the real Cleveland complained about Dahmer’s bizarre habits and even alerted the police after she found one of his victims. Time after time, she was ignored.
Penelope Ann Miller (Carlito’s Way, The Artist) and Richard Jenkins (The Shape of Water, The Visitor) star as Joyce and Lionel Dahmer, Jeffrey’s parents. Molly Ringwald (The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles) stars as Shari Dahmer, his stepmother. Additionally, Monster stars Michael Learned (The Waltons) as Catherine Dahmer; Shaun J. Brown (The Dropout, Dave) as Tracy Edwards, one of Dahmer’s victims who eventually led to his capture; and Colin Ford (We Bought a Zoo) as Chazz.
