It looks like the infatuation with true crime will never die as serial killer biopic My Friend Dahmer climbs the Netflix UK rankings, currently sitting at number two, looking to pushSpider-Man: No Way Homefrom the top spot.
This comes a whole year after Ryan Murphy’s Dahmer - Monster: A Jeffrey Dahmer Story series, starring Evan Peters, hit Netflix and shocked viewers with detailed accounts of the cannibalistic killer’s murderous rampage through the 1980s. Murphy’s creation soared to number one within its first weekend of release and surpassed 1 billion hours viewed in its first 60 days, making it only one of four series to achieve this milestone.
Following the success of the Dahmer season,Netflix ordered two additional installments of the anthology series, confirming earlier this year that the next edition will focus on the murderous Menendez brothers titled Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
Both My Friend Dahmer and Dahmer - Monster: A Jeffrey Dahmer Story are available to stream on Netflix right now. For more true crime retellings, check out our list ofthe best true crime documentaries to feed your inner sleuthor our30 best true crime podcasts to kill your free time.
