Ryan Murphy teams up with longtime collaborators to bring Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a Netflix limited series coming soon.

From Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the brains behind shows including Hollywood and Scream Queens, comes a new 10-part limited series that chronicles the story of one of America's most notorious serial killers, Jeffrey Dahmer. The true-crime series comes as part of Murphy's $300 million deal with Netflix, which recently saw him produce the biographical drama series Halston, starring Ewan McGregor as the iconic American fashion designer.

The upcoming series, titled Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, sees Murphy team up with longtime collaborators Ian Brennan, Janet Mock, Evan Peters, and more to cast a new lens on Dahmer's horrific crimes and how he managed to get away with them for so long. From plot to release date, here's everything we know about the sure-to-be hit show so far.

Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as the Milwaukee Monster, was an American cannibalistic serial killer who murdered 17 young men between the ages of 14 and 31 and preserved and defiled their bodies. Born in 1960, Dahmer had a textbook serial killer childhood; an outcast raised by distant parents, he was obsessed with death, had disturbing sexual fantasies, and was previously arrested for indecent exposure and sexual assault. In 1978, he committed his first murder, triggering a killing spree that ended with his arrest in 1991.

Many movies and series have been made about Dahmer, such as Marc Meyers' 2018 psychological drama My Friend Dahmer, which starred Ross Lynch in the titular role. Deadline reports Monster will be "Unlike most of the previous treatments of the story, which emphasized its sensational nature and gory details," and that, instead, the series approach "is psychological and focuses on how the murders were allowed to happen over more than a decade." On that issue, Monster is expected to explore white privilege afforded to Dahmer, who targeted black and queer communities. The series will be largely told from the point of view of his victims and will span the '60s to the early '90s.

American Horror Story regular Evan Peters will play the lead role of Jeffrey Dahmer. In a first-look photo released from Netflix, the actor is shown bearing an uncanny resemblance to the serial killer, wearing the latter's trademark aviator glasses. Peters rose to fame playing a murderous ghost in season one of American Horror Story, "Murder House." He has since starred in several other prominent TV shows, including Marvel Studios' WandaVision and HBO's Mare of Easttown.

Other cast members of Monster include Richard Jenkins (Step Brothers, The Shape of Water) as Lionel Dahmer, Jeffrey's father who showed him how to bleach and preserve animal bones as a child; Penelope Ann Miller (Carlito's Way, The Freshman) as Joyce Dahmer, Jeffrey's mother who struggled with mental illness while raising him; Michael Learned (The Waltons, Scrubs) as Catherine Dahmer, Jeffrey's paternal grandmother; Niecy Nash (Scream Queens, Claws) as Glenda Cleveland, Jeffrey's next door neighbour who tried to warn law enforcement of his suspicious behaviour; and Colin Ford (We Bought a Zoo, Daybreak) as Chazz, whose character remains a mystery.

Kieran Tamondong (Warrior, The Paper Tigers) will play Konerak Sinthasomphone, the 14-year-old victim who was handed back to Jeffrey by the police, and Shaun J. Brown (The Great Indoors, Wilson) will play Tracy Edwards, Jeffrey's final victim who helped bring the serial killer to justice.

Monster is co-created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, who also created Glee, Scream Queens, The Politician, and Hollywood together (alongside other longtime collaborator Brad Falchuk). Murphy and Brennan are also credited as writers for the show, as well as Reilly Smith, Janet Mock, and David McMillan. Smith and Mock have both worked with Murphy before; Smith as a producer for several Murphy series, including American Horror Stories and Hollywood, and Mock as executive producer and director of Pose. David McMillan wrote the short film O.J.'s Laugh and two episodes of Dexter: New Blood.

Mock, Paris Barclay, and Carl Franklin serve as directors of Monster. Two-time Emmy Award winner Paris Barclay has directed many TV shows in his long career, including episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, ER, The Good Wife, Lost, and Law & Order. Barclay also directed nine episodes of Glee, so he's no stranger to Murphy either. Carl Franklin is another well-established TV director, who's directed episodes of House of Cards, Homeland, Bloodline, 13 Reasons Why, and Mindhunter. Monster appears to be his first collaboration with Murphy.

Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, premieres on September 21, just in time for the spooky season. And if one Murphy/Brennan series wasn't enough, the unstoppable duo have another limited series coming out on Netflix later this year titled The Watcher.

The Watcher is based on a true story and stars Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive, The Ring) and Bobby Cannavale (Vinyl, Will & Grace) as a married couple who move into a new home and become the target of a stalker who calls himself "The Watcher." The trailer, which sees Jennifer Coolidge (American Pie, The White Lotus) play an insufferable real estate agent, looks every bit as camp as can be expected from a Ryan Murphy series, and fans can't wait.
