Evan Peters is seen in promotional shot for Netflix limited series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

Netflix has released a new image of Evan Peters playing Jeffrey Dahmer ahead of a new limited series from Ryan Murphy, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

The shot shows a profile of Peters from behind as he takes on the role of the infamous serial killer who murdered 17 people between 1978 and 1991.

The limited series will tell the story of Dahmer from the perspective of him victims, and explore major mistakes law enforcement in Wisconsin made in handling the probe of the notorious mass murderer.

The show also features actors Niecy Nash, Penelope Ann Miller, Shaun J. Brown, Colin Ford, and Richard Jenkins, with directors Paris Barclay, Carl Franklin, and Janet Mock.

Peters has past worked with Murphy on a number of projects, including nine of 10 seasons of American Horror Story, as well as the series Pose.

Peters in April told Variety about the painstaking task he had taken of researching Dahmer in depth for the role.

‘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,”‘ he said. ‘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.

Dahmer in 1992 was convicted of 16 murders he’d been charged with, and sentenced to 16 life sentences in prison. He was beaten to death by another inmate in November of 1994 at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin 

‘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 gruesome story of Dahmer has past been chronicled in the 2002 movie Dahmer, in which Jeremy Renner played the titular role; as well as 2017’s My Friend Dahmer, in which Ross Lynch played a teen version of the nascent serial killer.

Murphy is collaborating on the project with Ian Brennan. The limited series is slated to arrive on the streaming service later this year.
