Netflix has shared the teaser trailer for The Beast in Me, the upcoming mystery thriller miniseries led by Emmy winners Claire Danes (Homeland) and Matthew Rhys (The Americans). The project hails from producers Conan O’Brien and Jodie Foster. All eight episodes will be available for streaming starting on November 13.
“Since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs 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, a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance,” reads the official synopsis. “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.”
