The Beast In Me has an impressive team attached, from the actors to various executive producers, including main actor Claire Danes and series creator Gabe Rotter.
Other behind-the-scenes names include Howard Gordon as EP showrunner, Daniel Pearle as writer and EP, David Kissinger, Conan O’Brien, Antonio Campos as EP and director, and Jeff Ross and Jodie Foster as EP.
We were only given a brief synopsis of the show before its release to whet our appetites for what’s to come.
The new limited Netflix series will follow the storyline of reclusive author Aggie Wiggs as she hides from life while mourning the loss of her son.
A real-life mystery moves in next door, inspiring her investigative spirits for a new book as she tries to discover the truth about her new neighbor, Nile Sheldon.
The Beast In Me is an upcoming limited series about a woman living in isolation after losing her young son.
She gives up on her life and writing career.
Until she falls into a mystery that reawakens her writing spirit after meeting the new next-door neighbor. A prominent real estate agent neighbor was once the prime suspect in the unsolved disappearance of his wife.
What ensues is an intense game of cat and mouse as Wiggs investigates her neighbor to find out if she’s living next to a killer and potentially putting her life on the line to learn the truth.
The Beast In Me began film production in September 2024. It will still be some time before it appears in your Netflix catalog.
We expect to see eight to ten episodes in the first season.
The Beast In Me will have an impressive cast of acting cast, executive directors, and producers to bring the intriguing synopsis to life.
The beautiful and talented Claire Danes will portray Aggie Wiggs, an acclaimed author living in isolation after the death of her child.
Still reeling from the unexpected loss, Wiggs becomes a recluse, shutting out the world and her stories as she retreats within herself.
Until she gets a new tainted next-door neighbor who awakens the dormant author she repressed during her grief, she becomes obsessed with discovering the truth about the man trying to escape his demons.
Dane has had an impressive, award-winning career, including several Emmy Awards and nominations for her most recent work in Homeland and Temple Grandin. She’s also earned Golden Globe awards for Fleishman Is In Trouble.
Matthew Rhys will play Nile Sheldon, a famous and powerful real estate agent who moves in next door to Aggie. His tarnished past as a former prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance sparks a new book idea for the reclusive Aggie.
We’ve seen Rhys in The Americans, for which he won three Emmy nominations for Best Drama Actor and two Golden Globe nods.
He had the role of the titular character in HBO’s Perry Mason and has also appeared in Cocaine Bear, The Report, The Post, and Burnt.
He’ll also be portraying the role of icon George Carlin in the upcoming Saturday Night film.
Lyons will be FBI agent Brian Abbot. That’s all we know right now.
Lyons has appeared in previous Netflix series, such as Seven Seconds, Apple TV+ Truth Be Told, the international Australian series Troppo, and the NBC series ER.
He’s also appeared in movies like She Rides Shotgun and Eat, Pray, Love.
Brittany Snow will play Nile’s spouse, Nina. It’s unclear if she’ll be the one who went missing and they’ll show her through flashbacks or if she is the current wife to replace the missing one.
Snow is most known for her role in Pitch Perfect. But early post-Y2Kers may remember her from classics like Hairspray, John Tucker Must Die, Prom Night, and Bushwick.
She’s also been busy with series like American Dreams and Guiding Light, as well as upcoming appearances in The Night Agent (Season 2) and The Hunting Wives.
Morales will play Aggie’s ex-wife, Shelley. Follow TV Fanatic to get notified when we update this post with more information about Shelley’s role.
Morales has been a lead star in series like Abby’s and The Grinder and has appeared in shows like White Collar, Grey’s Anatomy, History of the World Part II, and Parks and Recreation.
Wrecking Ball has as much of an intimidating presence as his name implies. He will be a wrench in the life of Nile, causing mayhem.
Guinee has been in Homeland, The Good Wife, The Staircase, Horizon: An American Saga, Hell on Wheels, and Inventing Anna.
Since The Beast In Me just started filming, a trailer hasn’t been released yet. We’ll update this post when a promo trailer gets released.
Filming is still in progress for The Beast In Me, so a release date hasn’t been set yet. It’s expected that we won’t see The Beast In Me available on Netflix until late 2025 to early 2026.
The Beast In Me is a Netflix production, so it will be available for streaming on Netflix. We don’t know yet if a full season will drop at once or if we’ll go through the format of an episode at a time.
