David Tennant will play Dennis Nilsen in “Des,” an ITV drama about the Scottish serial killer who murdered numerous young men in London in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Luke Neal wrote the series about the killer, who murdered boys and young men in his flat. Nilsen went undetected until cops investigate fragments of human flesh and bone clogging the drains.
Executive Producer for the show says that the program will focus on the emotional impact of those terrible crimes, both on those who came into contact with Nilsen himself, and also on the victims’ families.
This is definitely inside David's range, his Criminal episode was one of the best.
