According to a report from Deadline, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story will star American Horror Story darling Evan Peters and Claws actor Niecy Nash.

Peters will play Dahmer, who murdered and dismembered 17 men and boys from 1978-1991, and Nash is playing his next-door neighbor Glenda Cleveland who tried to warn the cops about Dahmer on multiple occasions.

"Monster chronicles the story of one of America’s most notorious serial killers (Peters), 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 reports. "The series dramatizes at least 10 instances where Dahmer was almost apprehended but ultimately let go. 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."

Nash and Peters star in the series alongside Penelope Ann Miller, Shaun J. Brown, Colin Ford, and Richard Jenkins.
