The Watcher Season 2, Non-Dahmer “Monster” Installments Confirmed

Big news for Ryan Murphy & Ian Brennan today, courtesy of Netflix. After the global success of the Naomi Watts, Bobby Cannavale & Jennifer Coolidge-starring series, The Watcher has been given a green light for another mystery-soaked season. In addition, the streaming series is giving a green light to two limited series that will focus on “stories of other monstrous figures who have impacted society.” And though no specific topics were announced, Murphy, Brennan, and Netflix will be approaching both installments in much the same manner as they did with the Evan Peters & Niecy Nash-Betts-starring DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
