Karl Solórzano

Netflix’s forthcoming miniseries, «The Beast in Me,» boasts a stellar cast, featuring Claire Danes, Matthew Rhys, David Lyons, and Brittany Snow. For its creator, Gabe Rotter, the journey of bringing «The Beast in Me» from an initial script to television screens has been extensive. Rotter initially penned the screenplay approximately six to seven years prior to its acquisition. However, it was only after the former «X-Files» scribe altered the main character from male to female that he garnered the attention of Conan O’Brien’s production company, Conaco, and subsequently, Jodie Foster. Although Foster was considered for the starring role, she proposed Danes as an alternative.

“The Beast in Me” is expected to hit the streamer on November 13, 2025. And while it’s slated as a limited series, there’s always the potential for a miniseries to get picked up for another season. For those interested in learning more about “The Beast in Me,” including who’s involved, let this guide be your go-to resource.

What is “The Beast in Me” about?

Rotter’s story follows respected author Aggie Wiggs (Danes), who’s become a recluse following the traumatic death of her young son. Aggie hides away from public life as the agony has made it impossible to write. However, she soon finds new inspiration when real-estate mogul Nile Jarvis (Rhys) moves into the house next door. Having once been a suspect in his wife’s disappearance, he brings Aggie out of her self-induced hibernation; but Nile’s troublesome past could have deadly consequences for the writer as she becomes consumed by her intrigue.
