If you’re looking for something terrifying to watch on Peacock this October, you can’t find anything much more horrifying than the story of John Wayne Gacy, the infamous serial killer who tortured, raped, and took the lives of nearly three dozen young men and boys in the 1970s. Peacock’s true crime series Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy stars Severance‘s Michael Chernus as Gacy, and shows how Gacy used his unassuming presence and charm to enact a quiet reign of terror.
Peacock’s other October highlights include the streaming premieres of Jurassic World: Rebirth, the live-action adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon, and Ethan Coen’s dark comedy Honey Don’t!, starring Margaret Qualley as a small-town private investigator. And don’t forget about fall TV premieres; Peacock will also be the streaming home of broadcast favorites like Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., and Saturday Night Live.
Below is the complete list of titles coming to Peacock in October.
