The first season, which focuses solely on Jeffrey Dahmer, premiered in September and stars Evan Peters as the infamous serial killer. It has largely been considered a smash, quickly becoming one of Netflix’s most-viewed series of all time. Dahmer racked up more than 1 billion hours viewed within 60 days on the platform, and the anthology has been renewed for two additional seasons.
The sixth episode of Dahmer, titled “Silenced,” is the latest installment of It Starts on the Page, Deadline’s annual series that highlights the scripts that serve as the creative backbones of the buzzy shows that will define the TV awards season.

“Silenced” was written by Janet Mock, David McMillan and Murphy and directed by Paris Barclay. The episode focuses on the story of an aspiring model named Tony (Rodney Burford), who moves to Madison, WI and meets Dahmer at a bar,
