The final trailer for Peacock’s upcoming true crime limited series Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy it just fell and it’s as disturbing as it is mesmerizing.
Based on the true crimes of one of America’s most terrifying serial killers, the new footage gives us a chilling look at the twisted double life of John Wayne Gacy.
The trailer opens with Michael Chernus (Separation) as Gacy, strangely calm as he begins his confession. The resemblance, both in appearance and voice, is striking. From there, we see investigators begin to unravel the nightmare beneath Gacy’s home in suburban Chicago.
But unlike the first trailer, this new one digs deeper into the killer’s fractured identity and his disturbing psychology. As Chernus explains, “There are really four Gacys. John the entrepreneur, John the politician, John the clown. And then there’s the other guy.”
Set in Chicago, 1978, Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy explores how the man from the seemingly friendly community, who also dressed up as a clown to entertain sick children, was able to hide his true self as he raped, tortured and murdered at least thirty-three young men and boys.
According to Peacock, the series will also expose the systemic failures that allowed him to continue his crimes unchecked for years.
The eight-episode series features a strong supporting cast including Gabriele Luna (The last of us), James Badge Dale, Michele Angarano, Chris SullivanAND Navy Ireland. The show was written and produced by Patrick Macmanuswho also serves as showrunner.
Although this season focuses on Gacy, Devil in disguise has already been renewed for a second season which will shift the spotlight to another well-known figure: Richard Ramirez, also known as The Night Stalker. Ramirez terrorized Southern California during the mid-1980s, and although he was convicted of 15 murders, the actual number of victims remains uncertain.
Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy It looks like it’s going to be a deep, gripping, and disturbing dive into one of the darkest chapters in American crime history.
