Netflix unveiled the first batch of photos from The Beast in Me, a new drama starring Claire Danes (Fleishman Is in Trouble, Homeland) and Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason). The photos don’t give much away, but the synopsis confirms Danes and Rhys are going to have quite a complicated relationship.
The cast includes Brittany Snow (The Hunting Wives), Natalie Morales (My Dead Friend Zoe), David Lyons (Truth Be Told), Tim Guinee (Horizon: An American Saga), Hettienne Park (Black Rabbit), Jonathan Banks (Better Call Saul), Deirdre O’Connell (The Penguin), and Aleyse Shannon (Leverage: Redemption). Will Brill (Fellow Travelers), Kate Burton (Inventing Anna), Bill Irwin (The Dropout), Amir Arison (The Dropout), and Julie Ann Emery (Better Call Saul) also star.
The eight-episode drama premieres on November 13, 2025.
“Since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (Danes) has receded from public life, unable to write, a ghost of her former self. But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book when the house next door is bought by Nile Jarvis (Rhys), a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth—chasing his demons while fleeing her own—in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly.”
Gabe Rotter (The X-Files) created the series, writes, and executive produces. Howard Gordon guides the series as showrunner, writes and executive produces, along with Claire Danes, Daniel Pearle, Conan O’Brien, Jeff Ross, David Kissinger, Caroline Baron, and Jodie Foster. Antonio Campos directs and executive produces.
