Netflix’s true crime limited series ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story‘ became a roaring success. It is one of the most viewed English language shows on the platform. The show chronicled the life of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer (played by Evan Peters).
After its success, Netflix has renewed ‘Monster‘ for a second and third season. Not only this, but the streamer also renewed Ryan Murphy’s (creator of ‘Dahmer‘) other show, ‘The Watcher‘ for a new season. Let’s find out more about this and which serial killer they might focus on next.

Netflix Renews ‘Monster’ For A Second Season
Audiences simply love to watch shows on serial killers. In recent times, it’s not just serial killers but the whole true crime genre in general that has gained popularity.
There is good news for the fans of ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ as Netflix has renewed it for a second and third season. They have also renewed ‘The Watcher‘, both shows created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan.
However, the story of Jeffrey Dahmer ended in that show since it was a limited series. A new season will chronicle a new serial killer. Per Netflix, “the two new installments will each focus on “other monstrous figures who have impacted society.”
In one of the episodes, we saw a brief appearance from serial killer John Wayne Gacy killing one of his victims in a clown outfit. He also had a strange connection with Dahmer. So we can assume that the second season might fully focus on him.

“The back-to-back force of these two series is due to Ryan’s distinct original voice which created cultural sensations and we are thrilled to continue telling stories in the ‘Monster’ and ‘Watcher’ universes.”
