Hollywood actor Evan Peter, 35, will play serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in Netflix’s upcoming thriller series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
The streaming platform released the official trailer for the widely anticipated series on its YouTube channel on Friday (September 16).
The limited series was created by Ryan Murphy and explored the 13-year killing spree of Jeffrey, who committed the murder and dismemberment of seventeen men and boys between 1978 and 1991.

The show’s trailer video opens with Dahmer (Evan Peter) bringing a man back to his apartment, who immediately complains about the pungent smell coming from the bedroom.
Behind him, Dahmer locks the door and closes in on the man, and while his murder isn’t shown, it’s heavily implied.

Much of the rest of the trailer is based around Dahmer’s neighbour trying to get to the bottom of what’s going on next door.
She asks Dahmer why his apartment smells and why he runs power tools at all hours. “I hear screaming coming from your apartment,” she says.
In the show, Dahmer brings her a sandwich as an apology gift that appears to have some kind of meat on it – likely to be ‘human’ – as the killer at some point was known to dabble in cannibalism.

Netflix previously released two images of Evan playing Jeffrey ahead of the limited series’ release.
The shots show the actor in the role of the infamous serial killer donning glasses with a striped retro polo shirt with a belt and blue jeans.
The real-life serial killer was murdered for the first time when he was just 18 and only three weeks after graduating from high school.
His killing spree lasted for many decades before he was finally caught after asking three boys to return to his apartment and pose for nude photos.
