The show falls under Murphy’s and Mock’s separate multi-project deals with Netflix, along with the recently released Boys in the Band remake. According to Deadline, the show will also explore themes of white privilege pertaining to Dahmer’s case and his lenient treatment by the legal system. The super-producer said he intends to focus on the circumstances that allowed the murders to happen rather than the killer himself. Outside of independent films like 2017’s My Friend Dahmer and 2002’s Dahmer (with Jeremy Renner in the titular role), there has yet to be a definitive cinematic take on the decades-long story of the Milwaukee killer.Īlthough the aforementioned Ratched features no shortage of mayhem and bloodshed, Monster’s approach will be more “psychological” than gory, as Murphy told Variety. Murphy’s treatment of the Milwaukee Monster, according to Deadline, will look at Dahmer’s story from the victims’ points of view, similar to the style of the culminating episodes of Murphy’s 2018 FX drama, The Assassination of Gianni Versace, in which frequent Murphy player Darren Criss sensitively portrayed gay murderer Andrew Cunanan. It will follow the real-life case of gay serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who brutally claimed the lives of 17 boys and young men between 19. The subject of Murphy’s latest project, co-created by Hollywood collaborator Ian Brennan, should then come as no surprise to fans: Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story has just been greenlit by Netflix as the next project in Murphy’s multi-series contract with the streaming platform.įollowing the success of Ratched, Murphy’s queerly reimagined One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest origin story, Monster will take on a different kind of villain. Ryan Murphy has never been one to shy away from gore, given that he’s made a career out of a love of the macabre.
