The Menéndez series follows Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which premiered on the streamer in 2022. The Dahmer-centric series starred American Horror Story alum Evan Peters as the serial killer.
Dahmer became one of Netflix's most-streamed series ever — with 1 billion hours watched in only 60 days. Peters took home an outstanding actor Golden Globe award for his performance in the dark drama.
However praised the series has become, some viewers took issue with the revival of one of America's darkest stories. Some slammed director Murphy and Netflix for continuing with the story despite some backlash from the families of Dahmer's victims. Murphy later stated he'd reached out to living victims of Dahmer and received no response.
