"You can have all the backstory you want, but at the end of the day, we're not making a documentary," Evan explained. "It's more about maintaining the idea and the through line of why you're telling the story and always having that as your guiding light."

He continued at the time, "But there's so much material for Dahmer that I think it's incredibly important to make it really authentic."
