Peters will portray the serial killer in a story told through the eyes of his victims. Niecy Nash (Reno 911!, Scream Queens) will co-star as Glenda Cleveland, Dahmer's neighbor who was repeatedly dismissed by police when reporting his suspicious behavior.

A key aspect of the series will be the role of white privilege and how racism played into Dahmer being able to get away with his crimes for so long. The series will be 10 episodes long and a release date is still to be announced.
