This role will be one of the most important in Peters' career, as we have previously seen him star in dramas but never in this way, as he will have to step into the shoes of one of the most notorious murderers in history, who killed 17 people between 1978 and 1991.

The miniseries will focus on Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the most macabre killers of the century.

The production will tell the story of his origins through his eyes and how the police let him go free when they saw him as harmless, giving him free rein to go on a killing spree over the years. It will focus on the circumstances surrounding them and not so much on the details of the murders.

DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is a series that exposes these unconscionable crimes, focusing on the neglected victims and their communities affected by the systemic racism and institutional failures of law enforcement that allowed one of America's most notorious serial killers to continue his killing spree. in plain sight for more than a decade".
