With the never-ending backlash and a renewal for two seasons, Stephanie Filo, editor of Dahmer comes out with the struggles she faced.

Weeks After Monster&#8217;s Renewal, Emmy Award Winner Stephanie Filo Gets Brutally Honest About Netflix&#8217;s Dahmer

Netflix is not short of true crime documentaries, so when Dahmer first reached
us, no one blinked twice. That was until they watched it. Once they did, the
reactions were mixed: some horrified and others curious. But one thing was
clear, the series was a hit. Given the epic success of Netflix’s Dahmer, it did
not surprise anyone that the Monster series had been given a renewal for two
more seasons. Even though some thought it was one of the most horrific shows
they had seen recently, the struggle to create something noteworthy did not fall
short.

Ahead of the new Netflix release, Stephanie Filo, editor of the show, got real
about her struggles with the Dahmer project. 


STEPHANIE FILO GETS CANDID ABOUT DAHMER

Switching from editing comedy to dealing with true crime usually takes a lot of
effort, but for Stephanie Filo, it was just another obstacle she had to face,
even confirming to Variety in an interview
[https://variety.com/2023/artisans/awards/dahmer-editor-stephanie-filo-interview-1235694416/]
that it was the most emotionally challenging of her editing career. As with
creating any serial killer movie or series, the most challenging task involved
ensuring that the audience wouldn’t develop sympathy for Dahmer, portrayed by
Evan Peters. However, the three-time Emmy winner overcame these obstacles by
incorporating cut scenes to provide a comprehensive view of the character.



Filo even brought up the responsibility she felt while working on editing the
eighth episode of the series. The Eighth episode consists of the scene of the
impact statements. The impact of the scenes caused her to come back to it when
she was in a better headspace. It seems to have paid off for the editor, though,
giving her global recognition. And while the series resulted in controversies

it also benefitted from the editing, as it won several awards.

With all the criticism that Dahmer received, it will be thrilling to see what
the streaming giant has coming.


NETFLIX MAKES WAY FOR MORE MONSTERS

Shortly after the release of Dahmer, news broke that the series would be renewed
for two more seasons. Season 2 will focus on the story of the Menendez Brothers,
Erik and Lyle, who murdered their parents before going on shopping sprees in
1989. The latest update in the upcoming series told us that production had come
to a halt due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA srikes.

Following Dahmers‘ success, fans are hoping that all upcoming projects will
continue to hold true to the same standard. But with the delays, it will be some
time before viewers can gauge if the quality continues in the subsequent
seasons.
