The Beast in Me Trailer and Key Art From Netflix
Netflix has released the new trailer and key art for the limited series The Beast in Me. All eight episodes of the series will be available to stream on November 13, 2025.
In 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.
The Beast in Me stars Claire Danes, Matthew Rhys, Brittany Snow, and Natalie Morales. The guest stars include 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.
Showrunner Howard Gordon (Homeland, 24, The X-Files) and creator Gabe Rotter (The X-Files) are the writers and executive producers of the 20th Television series. The writers also include Erika Sheffer, C.A. Johnson, Daniel Pearle, Ali Liebegott, and Mike Skerrett.
The executive producers also include Claire Danes, director Antonio Campos (The Staircase), Daniel Pearle (American Crime Story), Conan O’Brien, Jeff Ross, and David Kissinger for Conaco, Caroline Baron (Severance), and Jodie Foster.
“The title of the series comes from a Johnny Cash song — but it’s not as simple as it might initially seem,” said showrunner, writer, and executive producer Howard Gordon previously. “It really is about all of our complicity.”
Gordon added, “Whether it’s Monica Lewinsky or Amanda Knox or Nile Jarvis or whatever, sometimes we are quick to make assumptions. But when we are forced to look at it from another angle, do we have the humility and the compassion to listen and to revise the narrative?”
The series from 20th Television was filmed in Red Bank, New Jersey, in September 2024.
