The trailer for dahmer from Netflix. It was the debut of Evan Peters as Jeffrey Dahmer, the man also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, who between 1978 and 1991 devoted himself to cannibalism and necrophilia in one of darkest episodes of the United States. The video was as disturbing as one would expect from its creators, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, responsible for american horror story. But what was surprising about this video was the release date that was announced: September 21, just five days later, when it was not even included in the release schedule of the month.
On Netflix, it is common to promote only some of its titles, hoping that they will get enough views just to be placed among the new releases of the week in the catalog. But dahmer a priori does not belong to this category. After all, it belongs to Ryan Murphy, the man who in 2018 signed an exclusive contract with the company for 300 million. And while it may be a lack of trust in the product, there's one thing that shouldn't be overlooked: Murphy is the man who found a way around the exclusivity deal. Could it be that Netflix is despise?
'Dahmer'
It focuses on Jeffrey Dahmer, the man also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal, who between 1978 and 1991 devoted himself to cannibalism and necrophilia in one of America's darkest episodes.
The writer-director-producer settled on Netflix in his heyday. Murphy had carved out a place for himself on television with the teenager Popular (1999-2001) and drama Pinch/Tuck (2003-2010), which demonstrated the potential of American cable to deliver more adult and, in this case, very twisted stories. After the premiere of the musical series joy (2009-2015), which became a cultural phenomenon from its pilot episode, and american horror story (2011-), its attractiveness skyrocketed.
The author, openly gay and with a quick pen, had the gift of being as recognizable as versatile: he went from comedy for teenagers to horror, interested the public as much as the critics and had the gift of convincing the most big Hollywood stars to encourage them to participate in their projects. Just see that he also started the franchise american crime story (2016-), Querelle (2017-), pose (2018-2021) and even had the whim of demonstrating that he could update the weekly case series with 9-1-1 (2018-). And who do you have on your agenda as recurring actors? Susan Sarandon, Catherine Zeta Jones, Penelope Cruz, Ricky Martin, John Travolta, Cuba Gooding Jr, Jessica Lange, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gloria Estefan, Ariana Grande and Clive Owen.
Ryan Murphy was king when he signed for Netflix: he could work on different projects at the same time, he dazzled audiences and critics, and he was versatile in terms of genres
The $300 million deal was stratospheric, but understood in the industry: Murphy had demonstrable successes in his portfolio and also had the ability to mix multiple projects at the same time. In a business obsessed with content volume and brand visibility, the writer checked all the boxes to take advantage of the platform's creative freedom. However, when it was time to repeat his expanded reign in 20th Century Fox Television, the author was left with a need and I can't.
The politicians (2019-2020), a political satire starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Platt, was content to be a histrionic experiment out of favor with critics. ratchet (2020-), which ran as a prequel to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, read as a minor season of american horror story. Hollywoodwhich was nominated for an Emmy for Best Miniseries, also couldn't save the furniture, as a report in Los Angeles Magazine“Netflix has reached a $300 million deal with Ryan Murphy. It might be time to ask for a refund. » the biopic halston (2021) with Ewan McGregor was also unable to redirect the conversation.

The worst thing for Netflix is that not only could it not repeat the successes for which it had been signed, but in addition the creator found a way to circumvent its exclusivity contract. He had agreed with Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos that he could continue working on his previous series as well as the spin-offs. But, of course, the men of Netflix could not imagine that they would pay him 300 million to be especially prolific for Disney, his main competitor, which between 2017 and 2019 bought 20th Century Fox.
I mean, while under exclusive contract, he designed 9-1-1: Lone Star, a spin-off of the firefighter series with Rob Lowe, which has already been filming for three seasons. In Netflix, they had to understand that it would be related to american horror storywhich continues to air, but perhaps they did not expect the existence of american horror stories in which, to make matters worse, he writes episodes. And, after reuniting Clive Owen, Edie Falco, Sarah Paulson and Margo Martindale in Impeachment: A History of American CrimeCurrently preparing another series of the same franchise set in the famous nightclub Studio 54.
Since signing with Netflix, he has created '9-1-1: Lone Star', 'American Sports Story', 'American Love Story', 'American Horror Stories' for Disney
And, when Netflix's lack of success began to sting, it publicly humiliated the company by announcing that it would be developing several projects for Disney. resurrected Querellewho after talking about the enmity between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, would go on to talk about the friendships of Truman Capote. Feud: Capote's WomenPlus, it has a cast that gives voice with Naomi Watts, Chloë Sevigny, Calista Flockhart, Diane Lane, and Demi Moore in the talks.
Projects have also been announced. american love story Yes American sports history that despite telling new stories that have nothing to do with american horror story Yes american crime story, count as series of the same franchise. “When Ryan Murphy came to us with these two spin-offs and the stories for American sports history Yes american love storywe immediately jumped at the chance,” said John Landgraf, president of Mickey Mouse FX, to add salt to the wound.
Long story short, Murphy took $300 million to jump on Netflix and he, in turn, continued to work with his former clients without even having to go to court. In this context, the non-existent promotion of dahmer speaks for itself as the Murphy deal is set to end in 2023 with no renewal rumors.
