‘The Beast In Me’ Starring Claire Danes & Matthew Rhys Sets Netflix Premiere Date; First Look

News about Claire’s new show on Netflix, The Beast in Me, premiering on November 13th.

Netflix has slotted Thursday, Nov. 13 for the premiere of The Beast in Me, its upcoming limited series starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys. All eight episodes will drop at once. You can also see some first-look images above and below.

In The Beast In Me, since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (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 (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.

Brittany Snow and Natalie Morales also star. 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.

Danes also serves as executive producer of the mystery thriller, which is created, written and executive produced by Gabe Rotter (The X-Files). Howard Gordon (Homeland) serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Also executive producing are Jodie Foster, Daniel Pearle (American Crime Story), Conan O’Brien, Jeff Ross and David Kissinger for Conaco, and Caroline Baron (Severance). Antonio Campos (The Staircase) directs and serves as executive producer. 20th Television is the studio.

Claire Danes Joins Jesse Eisenberg, Lizzy Caplan in FX Limited Series ‘Fleishman Is in Trouble’

New role for Claire!

Golden Globe-winning actor Claire Danes will star opposite Jesse Eisenberg and Lizzy Caplan in the FX limited series “Fleishman is in Trouble,” based on the novel of the same name by features journalist Taffy Brodesser-Akner. The series hails from ABC Signature and will stream on Hulu.

Brodesser-Akner wrote the limited series and executive produces. “Fleishman is in Trouble” centers on a recently divorced forty-something (Toby Fleishman, played by Eisenberg), who starts using dating apps and enjoying his sexual freedom before his ex-wife mysteriously disappears, leaving him with his kids. Now, Fleishman will have to take a look at what happened to their marriage to figure out what happened to Rachel (played by Danes), all while balancing parenting, promotions and hookups. Rachel is described as a successful and ambitious talent agent who struggles with her new identity and past trauma. Executive producing alongside Brodesser-Akner are Sarah Timberman, Carl Beverly, Susannah Grant, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. Dayton and Faris will also direct part of the series.

Danes is best known for her role as Carrie Mathison in “Homeland,” which earned her numerous award nominations, wins and accolades throughout its eight-season run on Showtime. Danes’ first major roles in film and television were “Little Women,” “My So-Called Life” and “Romeo + Juliet,” and has been active both on-screen and on-stage since the mid-90s. She will next be seen on Apple TV Plus’ “The Essex Serpent,” opposite Tom Hiddleston and Clémence Poésy. Danes is represented by WME, Signpost Management and Ziffren Brittenham.
