Michael Chernus Cast as John Wayne Gacy in Peacock's 'Devil in Disguise'

The series will focus on the victims and systemic failures that allowed Gacy's crimes to go undetected for years.

Chernus emphasizes the importance of focusing on the victims and their families rather than glorifying the killer.
The show will explore the grief, guilt, and trauma experienced by the families and friends of Gacy's mostly gay victims.
Gacy's ability to evade detection was due to his charismatic facade as a community leader and clown.
The series aims to expose the societal prejudices and systemic failures that contributed to Gacy's prolonged criminal activity.
Patrick Macmanus, known for 'Dr. Death,' serves as the showrunner and writer for the series.
