series into a franchise off the back of his wildly successful series You know, because re-traumatising just one serial killer’s victim’s families isn’t enough. The streaming giant announced two additional instalments of the anthology will “tell the stories of other monstrous figures who have impacted society”. Netflix hasn’t revealed which killers will get the Dahmer glow-up next season, but rest assured, it’ll be someone heinous. Who is also played by someone hot, for seemingly no reason. I mean, Netflix , and now Dahmer by casting him as . Maybe we’ll get , starring . The renewal of Murphy’s series probably doesn’t come as a surprise given was wildly successful and is on track to hit 1 billion hours streamed.
