Netflix announced on Sept. 24 that The Beast in Me, which premiered as an eight-episode limited series in November 2025, will return for a second season. Claire Danes will reprise her role as Aggie Wiggs; she is the only cast member confirmed so far.
Showrunner and executive producer Howard Gordon said the team wanted a second season only if they found a story “worthy of the first,” adding that they had found one.
The first season won two 2026 Emmy Awards. The article says Matthew Rhys is unlikely to return: his character, Nile Jarvis, was stabbed to death at the end of season 1.
