DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story Trailer #2 Released

After a chance to check out the first official trailer as well as two featurettes spotlighting the limited series's two leads, Netflix released the second trailer for Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan's Evan Peters & Niecy Nash-Betts-starring DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. In July 1991, police officers entered the Milwaukee apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer (Peters). Inside, they found several body parts and severed heads in his fridge and freezer, as well as countless polaroids of mutilated bodies. He was arrested & later confessed to gruesomely murdering at least 17 people, mostly young gay men of color, during a 13-year killing spree that began back in 1978. How did the serial killer get away with his crimes for so long? That's an essential question that the series will be looking to offer some answers to, but the second trailer also emphasizes that the project is just as much about Dahmer's victims and the way society abandoned them for over a decade, as well as making sure the victims aren't forgotten.

Joining Peters & Nash-Betts in the main cast are Richard Jenkins (Lionel Dahmer), Molly Ringwald (Shari Dahmer), and Michael Learned (Catherine Dahmer). Now here's a look at the second official trailer, with DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story set to hit Netflix this Wednesday:

Between 1978 and 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer gruesomely took the lives of seventeen innocent victims. DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is a series that 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.

In the following featurettes, Peters opens up about playing the serial killer and the impact it had on him personally. Following that, Nash-Betts discusses why it was important for Glenda Cleveland's (Dahmer's neighbor who tried in vain to get law enforcement involved) story to be told. For a look at what Peters and Nash-Betts had to share about the upcoming limited series, here's a look behind the scenes of Netflix's DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story:
