Season chronology

Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story is an upcoming American crime drama television miniseries created by Jane Holloway for HBO. It is the fourth season of the Monster anthology, following Monster: The John Wayne Gacy Story (2026), Monster: The Bernie Madoff Story (2027), and Monster: The Son of Sam Story (2029).

The season will dramatize the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer, known as the “Milwaukee Cannibal,” whose murders and dismemberments between the late 1970s and 1991 shocked the world and raised questions about policing, social neglect, and media obsession.

Premise

Spanning from Dahmer’s youth to his capture in 1991, the series will portray his predatory behavior, the killings committed in his Milwaukee apartment, the missed opportunities by police and neighbors to stop him, and the eventual trial. The narrative will also explore the lives of victims, systemic failures, and the cultural debates surrounding how such crimes were able to continue for so long.

Production

On May 5, 2029, HBO confirmed that Monster had been renewed for a fourth season, announcing that it would center on Jeffrey Dahmer.[1]

Jane Holloway will return as showrunner, describing the new season as “colder, quieter, and far more intimate” compared to the sprawling paranoia of the Son of Sam season. Producers indicated that the cinematography will emphasize stark, fluorescent-lit realism to recreate the claustrophobic atmosphere of Dahmer’s apartment and daily life.

Filming is expected to begin in early 2030 with principal photography in Milwaukee and Ohio. The season is scheduled to premiere in Spring 2031. Unlike the third season, which released all episodes simultaneously, HBO announced that Season 4 will return to a weekly rollout model, allowing viewers to dissect each chapter in real time.[1]

Episodes

The fourth season will consist of eight episodes. Official titles and air dates have not yet been revealed.

Release

HBO announced a tentative premiere window of Spring 2031, with episodes airing weekly on both HBO and the Max streaming platform.[1]

Future

Producers have stated that while Monster will continue exploring figures who shocked culture, each season will experiment with new narrative styles. Season 4 will return to intimate serial-killer storytelling after the financial betrayal of Bernie Madoff and the citywide hysteria of Son of Sam. Future seasons may expand into other infamous cases in politics, corruption, and global crime, depending on audience reception.
