The limited series, titled Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, will explore how Dahmer was able to go for so long without being caught by police.
Monster was the latest project to be announced as part of Murphy’s Netflix deal, following limited series including Hollywood, and his films The Boys in the Band and The Prom.
Murphy is also behind the Netflix/ABC series Ratched, starring Sarah Paulson, and The Politician.
Murphy’s series will reportedly show at least 10 of the instances where Dahmer was almost caught, but ultimately let go.
