series into a franchise off the back of his wildly successful series You know, because re-traumatising just one serial killer’s victim’s families isn’t enough.
The streaming giant announced two additional instalments of the anthology will “tell the stories of other monstrous figures who have impacted society”. Netflix hasn’t revealed which killers will get the Dahmer glow-up next season, but rest assured, it’ll be someone heinous. Who is also played by someone hot, for seemingly no reason.

The news will be disappointing for critics of Netflix though, who expressed concerns about the effect its true crime fixation has on the families of murder victims.
— the mother of , a young man murdered by Jeffrey Dahmer — slammed the streaming giant for exploiting and commodifying the death of her son earlier this year.

It’s a messy issue that seems to be gaining traction (the victims of the shooting investigated in ‘s true crime podcast about celebrities cashing in on their story) but it doesn’t look like there’s a solution in sight yet. Or even a dialogue with creators, it seems.
