Ahead of Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series “Dahmer,” starring Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer (first look up above), Joe Berlinger‘s true crime series “Conversations With a Killer” is back for a third season that will also profile Jeffrey Dahmer, Variety reports this afternoon.
“Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes” premieres October 7, 2022.
Here’s the official synopsis for the upcoming three-part series…
“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?”
The series is said to feature “never-before-heard audio interviews between Dahmer and his defense team, delving into his warped psyche while answering these open questions of police accountability through a modern-day lens.”
The previous two seasons of “Conversations” profiled Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy.
