Something tells us we’re going to want to see more from Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys‘ cat-and-mouse game in the new Netflix thriller, The Beast in Me, after the first season, which premieres in November.
Danes’ Aggie is an author who begins looking into Rhys’ Nile for her next book — he’s been accused of being behind his wife’s disappearance. Both are “the best at what they do,” showrunner and executive producer Howard Gordon previously told TV Insider. “They recognize in each other a kind of excellence, and it’s a kind of excellence that is a lonely excellence, really. …They’re both clever. They’re both alone. And the fact that they find each other in this improbable situation, I think, is what really gives it an extra dimension — aside from the sort of plot machinations and the cat and mouse of it all.” Doesn’t that sound like something you’d like to see across multiple seasons?
But will there be a Beast in Me Season 2? Read on for everything we know.
Is The Beast in Me renewed for Season 2?
No. The Beast in Me is billed as a limited series, which would suggest it won’t be back for a second season. However, other shows have been billed as such — including Untamed, also on Netflix — and returned for more.
When TV Insider asked Gordon about the possibility of another season, he told us, “The short answer is I would say, sure. … I think there probably is a story there.”
When is The Beast in Me premiere date?
All eight episodes of The Beast in Me Season 1 will be available to stream on Thursday, November 13, on Netflix.

What is The Beast in Me about?
According to Netflix, “Since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (Claire 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 (Matthew Rhys), a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance. 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.”
