\n\t\u201cThe Beast in Me<\/a>\u201d has been renewed for Season 2 at Netflix<\/a>, Variety has learned. <\/p>\n

\n\tClaire Danes<\/a> will return to star as Aggie Wiggs and executive produce as she did in Season 1. In addition, Season 1 showrunner Howard Gordon has signed an overall TV deal with Netflix under his Teakwood Lane Productions banner, through which he will develop new series for the streamer. Gordon remains attached to \u201cThe Beast in Me,\u201d but he will serve as co-showrunner on Season 2 alongside Season 1 executive producer Daniel Pearle. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe always told ourselves we\u2019d only do a second season of \u2018The Beast in Me\u2019 if we found a story that was worthy of the first \u2013 and I\u2019m thrilled to say we found it,\u201d Gordon said. \u201cWe loved making this show and our audience seemed to love watching it, so we\u2019re enormously grateful to Jinny Howe and Netflix, and to Karey Burke and 20th Television for giving us the chance to get the band back together and do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Beast in Me\u201d was originally announced as a limited series<\/a> when it was picked up in 2024. It also campaigned as a limited series at this year\u2019s Emmy Awards, for which Season 1 star Matthew Rhys won the award<\/a> for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series. The series also won the Emmy for outstanding music composition for a limited or anthology series, movie or special (original dramatic score). <\/p>\n

\n\tBut in the tradition of \u201cBig Little Lies\u201d and other \u201climited series\u201d before it, Netflix and \u201cThe Beast in Me\u201d team began exploring the possibility of a second season and opened a writers\u2019 room earlier this year. Not surprising, in the end, given the show\u2019s critical acclaim and love from audiences. Aside from the attention it received on the awards circuit, \u201cThe Beast in Me\u201d debuted at number one on the Netflix global top 10 chart the week it debuted and stayed in the top 10 for five weeks. It racked up over 43 million views in just seven weeks, per Netflix. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are thrilled to bring back \u2018The Beast in Me\u2019 and to welcome Howard Gordon to the Netflix family with this creative partnership,\u201d said Netflix Head of Scripted Series Jinny Howe. \u201cThe series captivated global audiences, delivered extraordinary performances led by Claire Danes, and earned Matthew Rhys a historic Emmy win. We are incredibly proud of what Howard Gordon, Gabe Rotter, and the entire cast and crew achieved. We can\u2019t wait for audiences to see what Howard and Daniel Pearle have in store for the next season.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGabe Rotter is the creator and an executive producer of \u201cThe Beast in Me.\u201d As mentioned above, both Gordon and Pearle will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers on Season 2, with Danes again executive producing. Antonio Campos, Caroline Baron, Amy Lippman, Conan O\u2019Brien, David Kissinger, Jeff Ross, Claire Danes and Jodie Foster also executive produce. The series is produced by 20th Television. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe Beast in Me\u201d has been renewed for Season 2 at Netflix, Variety has learned.
