Peacock has finally found the actor starring as the notorious serial killer in the limited drama series, Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy.
Other details about the drama remain close to the vest, including other stars involved, but the official synopsis states that the series will peel back “the twisted layers of Gacy’s life while weaving in the heartrending stories of his mostly gay victims; exploring the grief, guilt, and trauma of their families and friends; and exposing the systemic failures, missed opportunities and societal prejudices that fueled his reign of terror.
“I’m both excited and humbled by this opportunity. The direction that the writers are taking with this project is important, focusing on the victims and their families as well as those who finally brought John Wayne Gacy to justice,” said the actor. He added, “While Gacy was the perpetrator of these horrific crimes, I’m relieved that he won’t be the main focus of the series. It’s heartbreaking for me to think of what his victims could have done with their lives had the system not failed them so tragically. I believe in the power of storytelling and hope that by telling this story, in a thoughtful way, we can play some part in preventing this from ever happening again.
Land of Bad, the action thriller led by Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth, has set its Netflix streaming date.
