Producers are also meeting with actresses for the lead female role of Glenda Cleveland, a neighbor of Dahmer's who fruitlessly tried to warn law enforcement of his strange behavior, and who was involved in one of the most disturbing cases related to Dahmer: the murder of Konerak Sinthasomphone, a 14-year-old Laotian boy who managed to flee Dahmer's apartment before being returned to the serial killer by Milwaukee police officers, who ignored Cleveland's concerned pleas and Sinthasomphone's injuries. Sinthasomphone was later murdered and dismembered.Ĭarl Franklin ( Mindhunter, The Leftovers) has been tapped as director for the pilot episode and Janet Mock ( Pose, Hollywood) set to write and direct several episodes of the 10-episode limited series. The role of Dahmer has not yet been cast, with Murphy and his producers currently on an nationwide search to find an actor for the part. Richard Jenkins is set to co-star as Dahmer's father Lionel. The series also is expected to touch on white privilege, as Dahmer, a clean-cut, good-looking white guy, was repeatedly given a free pass by cops as well as by judges who were lenient when he had been charged with petty crimes. The series dramatizes at least 10 instances where Dahmer was almost apprehended but ultimately let go. Here is the logline for Monster, which spans a four-decade period from the 1960s to Dahmer's arrest in the early '90s, per Deadline: Monster chronicles the story of one of America's most notorious serial killers, largely told from the point of view of Dahmer's victims, and dives deeply into the police incompetence and apathy that allowed the Wisconsin native to go on a multiyear killing spree. Deadline broke the news that Murphy is developing a Jeffrey Dahmer limited series, Monster, for his next Netflix project, teaming up with his longtime collaborator Ian Brennan, with whom Murphy co-created Hollywood, The Politician and Fox's Glee and Scream Queens (all with Brad Falchuk).
