Peacock has set an October 16th premiere for Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, unveiling first look, teaser, and chilling new details.
Peacock has officially set a premiere date for its upcoming limited series Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, with all episodes set to drop October 16. The streaming platform also released a haunting teaser, teaser art, and a series of first-look images to accompany the announcement, offering a glimpse into one of America’s most disturbing true crime sagas.
The docuseries revisits the terrifying case of John Wayne Gacy, the notorious serial killer who abducted, murdered, and buried 33 young men beneath his home between 1972 and 1978—all while maintaining a polished facade as a beloved member of his community.
Gacy wasn’t just another suburban face. He was known for his charm, his humor, and his civic engagement. He had what many would call an All-American life—holding a respectable job, volunteering for local causes, and even entertaining children at hospitals while dressed as a clown. But beneath that carefully curated image lurked a predator who went undetected for years.
Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy digs deep into the twisted psychology of the man behind the mask, while also honoring the victims whose stories are often overshadowed by the infamy of their killer. The series shines a spotlight on the devastating emotional toll faced by families and loved ones, while unpacking how societal biases, institutional failures, and missed warning signs allowed Gacy to continue his killing spree unchecked.
Through archival footage, dramatic reenactments, and emotional interviews, Peacock’s latest true crime offering is poised to be both a chilling character study and a sobering critique of the systems that failed to stop him.
Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy will be available to stream in full starting October 16, only on Peacock.
