Devil in Disguise could be your next weekend binge-watch! 👀📺
- Devil in Disguise has been picked up by ITV.
- The true crime drama is based on serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
- But how can you watch it in the UK?
A true crime drama about one of the most notorious American serial killers is finally being released in the UK.
Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy was a hit with audiences and critics alike when it was released in America last year. But until now, it was not available to watch on this side of the pond.
However, that is about to change, as the miniseries has been picked up by ITV. Here’s all you need to know:
What to expect from Devil in Disguise?
From 1972-1978, thirty-three young men were kidnapped, murdered, and buried in a crawl space beneath their killer's house. And no one was the wiser. Not for all those years. Why?
He was charming and funny. Had a good, All-American job. Was a community leader. He even volunteered to entertain sick kids... while dressed as a clown.
Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy peels back the twisted layers of Gacy’s life while weaving in heartrending stories of his victims; exploring the grief, guilt, and trauma of their families and friends; and exposing the systemic failures, missed opportunities, and societal prejudices that fuelled his reign of terror.
Based on the 2021 docuseries John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise, it shifts the focus from the killer himself to the impact on his victims and the investigation that brought him to justice.
Previously released on Peacock in America, the show has gone down well with critics and audiences alike across the pond. It has a 96% fresh rating from reviewers and 85% from viewers.
