The third season of Joe Berlinger’s Conversations With a Killer docuseries is coming to Netflix this fall. Variety reports that the three-part series, focused on Jeffrey Dahmer, will launch on October 7. In 1992, Dahmer was convicted of murdering and dismembering men and boys throughout a 13-year span that began in 1978. He was sentenced to a total of 941 years in prison but was murdered by two fellow inmates in 1994. The series will air never-before-heard interviews between Dahmer and his attorneys.

Netflix has released the following official series description for Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes:

The docuseries is directed and executive produced by Berlinger under his RadicalMedia Banner. Berlinger is known for documentaries, including Brother’s Keeper and Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, among others. He produced the first two seasons of Conversations With a Killer, which covered Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. Catherine Park, Jon Doran, Jen Isaacson, Jon Kamen, Rusty Lemorande, Josh Model, Jamie Fleischel, Matthew Helderman, and Luke Taylor also executive produce, with Kristen Gray-Rockmaker serving as co-executive producer.

When Milwaukee police entered the apartment of 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer in July of 1991, they uncovered the grisly personal museum of a serial killer: a freezer full of human heads, skulls, bones and other remains in various states of decomposition and display. Dahmer quickly confessed to 16 murders in Wisconsin over the previous four years, plus one more in Ohio in 1978, as well as unimaginable acts of necrophilia and cannibalism. The discovery shocked the nation and stunned the local community, who were incensed that such a depraved killer had been allowed to operate within their city for so long. Why was Dahmer, who had been convicted of sexual assault of a minor in 1988, able to avoid suspicion and detection from police as he stalked Milwaukee’s gay scene for victims, many of whom were people of color?

Dahmer in Television and Film

Berlinger’s docuseries is not the only Dahmer-centered project making its way to the streamer later this year. Evan Peters will star in Ryan Murphy’s Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (Dahmer was nicknamed the Milwaukee Monster). The two have previously collaborated on American Horror Story and Pose. Netflix recently released a short teaser for the 10-episode scripted series. No release date has been announced, but the series is expected to air this year.

The series will also star Richard Jenkins and Penelope Ann Miller as Jeffrey’s parents Lionel and Joyce. Niecy Nash and Shaun Brown will also appear in the series.

Several movies and television specials have been made about Dahmer and his sadistic crimes. Just in 2017, Ross Lynch starred in Marc Meyers’ My Friend Dahmer. The critically acclaimed film was based on the graphic novel of the same name by cartoonist John Backderf chronicling Dahmer’s teenage and young adult life. In the 1970s, Backderf and Dahmer attended high school together, becoming friends.
