    Actor Evan Peters is no stranger to horror fans. Especially those who’ve watched his numerous appearances throughout the ongoing run of American Horror Story. Evan Peters has appeared in most seasons since the first season premiered in 2010. Now American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy has brought Evan Peters to the forefront of his upcoming Netflix series Dahmer as none other than serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer himself.

    Furthermore, as you can see below the first look at Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer has been revealed.

    While it’s not exactly a clear look of the character’s face, fans can still see many of the noticeable traits that are associated with Dahmer – in particular his glasses.

    Here’s the image, along with some brief teaser footage:

    The upcoming Netflix limited event series is intended to consist of ten episodes. It’s been suggested that they will span across the several decades which make up Jeffrey Dahmer’s life, in particular from the 1960s to the 1990s. As further noted in the show’s official synopsis, it “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.”

    It certainly sounds as though Dahmer will be a haunting addition to the different works that tell the story of this horrific murderer. With Ryan Murphy and Evan Peters involved, however, they’ll no doubt use their own distinct creative talents to make this an unique illustration of the aforementioned events as they happened.

    In addition to the inclusion of Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer, the cast of Dahmer also includes Niecy Nash, Penelope Ann Miller, Shaun J. Brown, Colin Ford, and Richard Jenkins.

    Fans can stay tuned to ScreenGeek for additional updates regarding Dahmer and the works of both Ryan Murphy and Evan Peters as we have them. In the meantime, this new image of Evan Peters as the titular Jeffrey Dahmer is an eerie glimpse into the biographical horror that’s to come.
