Peacock’s true crime drama Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy gets a trailer

July 9, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Peacock has released a teaser trailer, poster and images for Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, the upcoming crime drama series which stars Michael Chernus in the role as the sadistic serial killer, and explores the story of his victims and the trauma experienced by the family and friends of the young men that were murdered.

The cast includes Michael Chernus, Gabriel Luna, James Badge Dale, Michael Angarano, Chris Sullivan, and Marin Ireland. Check out the trailer below…

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 fueled his reign of terror.

Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy arrives on Peacock on October 16th.
