It became the second most popular series of all time it topped Netflixs global top 10 English TV list and it surpassed the Nielsen chart for a week with a whopping total of 3.7 billion minutes watched. It is the show of the moment DAHMER Monster The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. The Evans Peters starrer which premiered on September 21 this year has taken the internet by storm. It has become synonymous with todays pop culture so much so that it is being renewed for two more seasons. Yes you read that right. Given the Jeffrey Dahmer series popularity and the fact its viewership was second only to that of Stranger Things Season 4 this can be said was something in the offing.
The dreaded American serial killers story has stunned and fantasised the audience like one could have never imagined. Helmed by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, Netflix has given a green light to two additional chapters of the record breaking anthology series. The Monster is taking the compendium route just like the Indian true crime series The Indian Predator. The two new installments will concentrate on other notorious serial killers who have reigned terror through their horrifying acts.
While true crime dramas and documentaries have been feeding the viewers appetites for quite some time now it will be interesting to see how it is received by the audience at large considering the Jeffrey Dahmer series received a backlash. DAHMER got involved in all sorts of controversy after victims families showed their displeasure for romanticising a criminal. With additional installments in order its hard to gauge that if the true crime dramas are cathartic or is just minting money out of tragic events.
