Devil in Disguise is headed to Peacock, and five actors have been cast in the scripted dramatization inspired by the streaming service’s 2021 docuseries.

According to Deadline, Gabriel Luna, James Badge Dale, Michael Angarano, Chris Sullivan, and Marin Ireland have been cast in the series, which revolves around the aftermath of sex offender and serial killer John Wayne Gacy. He raped, tortured, and murdered at least 33 young men and boys in a community near Chicago. Gacy became known as the “Killer Clown” due to his public performances as a clown before the discovery of his crimes.

The following was revealed about the roles the actors will play:

“Luna will play Detective Rafael Tovar; Dale will play Chief of Detectives Joe Kozenczak; Angarano will play Sam Amirante; Sullivan will play Lead Prosecutor Bill Kunkle; Ireland will play Elizabeth Piest.

The Peacock series will examine Gacy’s life while also showing the lives 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 fueled his reign of terror.”

The premiere date for Devil in Disguise will be announced later.
