Five years ago, Robert De Niro made his first foray into TV acting with HBO‘s “The Wizard Of Lies,” about businessman fraudster Bernie Madoff. Now, Deadline reports (via Variety) that the two-time Oscar winner has a new TV role in the works over at Netflix, a project that De Niro will also executive produce.
Some of the best work in television has occurred in the limited series genre, and the 2022 contributions have been no exception, given how they commandeered the zeitgeist and outperformed the likes of the much-publicized House of the Dragon and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. We’re speaking, of course, of Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Ryan Murphy’s 10-episode deep dive into the notorious serial killer. Aside from its clunky title, the Netflix series transfixed the true crime obsessed despite the surprisingly understated way it depicted the grisly murders.
