Who wouldn’t want to watch a twisty psychological thriller series starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys? Turns out, that list is fairly small.
The Beast in Me debuted on Netflix in mid-November and is currently the most-watched show on the platform, with 6.9 million views this week. It’s also the #1 title in 21 countries. Does that mean a follow-up is just around the corner? Here’s what we know so far.
The Beast in Me Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, Netflix hasn’t officially renewed the show for more episodes. Additionally, The Beast in Me is listed as a limited series, which means a sequel is unlikely.
That said, you never know. The viewership numbers are good, and we definitely wouldn’t mind seeing more of Claire Danes on our screens.
Showrunner Howard Gordon is open to the idea. “As long as Aggie (the main character) is still roaming the planet and is a writer, I think there probably is a story there,” he told People.
If Netflix gives the green light, The Beast in Me season 2 could arrive in a couple of years. Early 2027, perhaps.

What Could Happen in The Beast in Me Season 2?
The Beast in Me revolves around Aggie, a once-acclaimed author. She has withdrawn from public life after the tragic death of her young son, but suddenly finds herself drawn to her new neighbor, Nile.
Besides being a powerful real estate magnate, Nile was also the prime suspect in his first wife’s disappearance. Aggie is both horrified and strangely fascinated. As she digs into Nile’s past, she finds herself caught in a strange game of cat and mouse.
Twisty and captivating, The Beast in Me is the kind of series that keeps you guessing until the last episode. Besides the intriguing plot, it touches on topics like grief, power, and legacy. There’s a little darkness inside everyone.
By the time the finale wraps up, viewers get answers about Nile, Aggie, and the mysteries at the show’s heart. Without spoiling anything, there’s a sense of closure. You don’t have to worry about cliffhangers ruining your experience.
Still, Aggie’s story could easily be expanded on. The Beast in Me season 2 might follow her as she gets entangled in a new mystery. After all, she’s a writer. A new book won’t write itself.
