The Beast in Me: Netflix Unveils Premiere Date and Photos for Thriller Series Starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys

The Beast in Me has its premiere date. The eight-episode series is set to arrive on Netflix in November. The streaming service released several first-look photos for the thriller series.

Claire Danes, Matthew Rhys, Brittany Snow, and Natalie Morales star in the series, which will feature guest appearances by Jonathan Banks, David Lyons, Tim Guinee, Hettienne Park, Deidre O’Connell, Aleyse Shannon, Will Brill, Kate Burton, Bill Irwin, Amir Arison, and Julie Ann Emery.

Netflix shared the following about the plot of the series:

“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.”
