The chilling Peacock anthology Devil in Disguise has swiftly become one of the best true-crime dramatisations of recent years, terrifying viewers. Notably, the series which is known for its immersive storytelling and humanistic lens on notoriously bleak events, blurs the lines between psychological horror and social commentary.Its premiere season Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, left viewers rattled by its disturbing depiction of one of the worst serial killers in America, while also balancing compassion for his victims and their families. With the show preparing for its next season, expectations are high for the future.Devil in Disguise is returning for a second season, with its next subject, the terrifying crimes of Richard Ramirez, also known as the “Night Stalker.” Early talks indicate the show will once again strive to achieve authenticity and sensitivity in its portrayal of the violence and terror inflicted upon California in the ‘80s by Ramirez.Will the stars return for Devil in Disguise Season 2?Following the success of the first part, rumours are spreading about whether the brilliant cast – Chris Sullivan, Michael Angarano and James Badge Dale will return for Season 2 in new roles.In a joint interview with Us Weekly, the three gushed about showrunner Patrick Macmanus and his team of writers, teasing that they would be more than happy to team up with him once more. Sullivan, who portrayed investigator Bill Kunkle revealed:“I would work with [creator] Patrick Macmanus and his team any time and anywhere.”Dale, who played Detective David Hachmeister added:“They create such an incredibly warm and creative environment.”Angarano who brought attorney Sam Amirante to life echoed the same sentiment, sharing that:“As dark and harrowing as this world was, the actual work and experience with the crew and the cast and Patrick himself [was] so warm and enjoyable. Anytime I work with them is the best job in the world.”Although Peacock has yet to announce an official return for the cast, their passion and chemistry reaffirm that Devil in Disguise could potentially keep its anthology series format by having familiar faces take on new roles, in a similar set-up to American Crime Story.What lies ahead for Season 2 of Devil in Disguise The first season of Devil in Disguise began by sensationalising the terrifying story of John Wayne Gacy, a serial killer and sex offender who killed more than 30 young men and boys in the 1970s. The show didn’t just recount Gacy’s crimes, it also attempted to show the side of the victims and their families. The show also interrogates the systemic failures that allowed his crimes to go undetected.Every episode was named after a victim, a creative choice that highlighted the series’ emphasis on remembrance and justice. The production was lauded for its restraint and compassion, avoiding sensationalism in a genre that has been criticised for profiting from real-life tragedy.Season 2 will also focus next on one of America’s most notorious killers that would be Richard Ramirez, the “Night Stalker.” Ramirez preyed on Southern California in 1984 and 1985, invading homes at night, raping, torturing, murdering, and often leaving behind satanic symbols. He was found guilty of 13 murders, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries; however, police suspect the tally could be much higher.With its attention turning away from Gacy’s suburban horrors toward Ramirez’s nighttime reign of terror, Devil in Disguise will delve deeper into a different kind of evil, justice, and what it really means to be a victim of violence. The series' producers have demonstrated a knack for telling thoughtful and emotionally grounded true-crime tales.
