As of October 14, 2025, Peacock is in early talks to develop a new season of its "Devil in Disguise" anthology series, this time focusing on the infamous "Night Stalker," Richard Ramirez. Ramirez, a serial killer, rapist, and burglar, terrorized Los Angeles and Southern California between 1984 and 1985, killing at least 15 people.
The new "Devil in Disguise" installment on Ramirez will be produced by Patrick Macmanus, who is also the showrunner for the upcoming "Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy" series, which is set to premiere on Peacock this Thursday, October 16, 2025. Macmanus and his team at Littleton Road Productions will oversee the development of the Ramirez-focused season.
Peacock is already familiar with the "Night Stalker" case, having previously aired the two-part NBC News Studios docuseries "Richard Ramirez: The Night Stalker Tapes." The streamer is now looking to expand its true crime offerings by delving deeper into Ramirez's crimes and the impact they had on the community. The new series is expected to provide a comprehensive look at the killer's reign of terror and the efforts to bring him to justice.
