Ryan Murphy, Evan Peters "Jeffrey Dahmer" Series Trailer Drops Friday

On July 22, 1991, two police officers entered the Milwaukee apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer. Inside, they found several body parts and severed heads in his fridge and freezer, as well as countless polaroids of mutilated bodies. Dahmer was arrested & later confessed to gruesomly murdering at least 17 people, mostly young gay men of color, during a 13-year killing spree that started in 1978. How did the serial killer get away with his crimes for so long? That's the question being asked in Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan's upcoming Netflix series, DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. And viewers will begin getting some of those answers this Friday when the first of two official trailers for the series debuts (with the second on September 20th).

And to make sure viewers are prepared for what's to come, we have a look at a mini-teaser offering a better look at Evan Peters' ("American Horror Story" franchise) Dahmer. Joining Peters in the main cast are Richard Jenkins (Lionel Dahmer), Molly Ringwald (Shari Dahmer), Michael Learned (Catherine Dahmer), and Niecy Nash-Betts (Glenda Cleveland, whose voice you hear in the following clip).

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.
