More about Dahmer: The American Cannibal (2022)
Created by award-winning Ryan Murphyknown for productions such as glee (2009) and American Horror Story (2011), the series produced by Netflix will feature 10 episodes starring the actor Evan Peters.
The miniseries proposes to tell the crimes of Dahmer through the perspective of the murderer’s victims. For this, it has Niecy Nash, Penelope Ann Miller, Shaun J. Brown, Colin Ford and Richard Jenkins in your roster.
Depicting the story of the man who killed 17 men and boys and then confessed to his crimes, sentenced to 16 life sentences, the series still promises to question the investigation of the case, demonstrating how the Wisconsin police acted in the face of the crimes.
In addition, the production will demonstrate how systemic problems allowed one of the biggest serial killers in the United States to continue acting with complete impunity for more than a decade.
