The Beast in Me

The Beast in Me is a Netflix psychological thriller created by Gabe Rotter. Claire Danes plays Aggie Wiggs, an acclaimed author who has withdrawn from public life and stopped writing since the death of her young son. When Nile Jarvis, a powerful real-estate magnate once suspected in his wife's disappearance, moves in next door, she becomes fixated on him as the subject of a new book, and her search for the truth turns into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Matthew Rhys plays Jarvis. The eight episodes were released on Netflix on 13 November 2025. Originally billed as a limited series, it has since been renewed for a second season with Danes returning.
