Netflix has unleashed a gripping new psychological thriller onto its platform, 'The Beast in Me', boasting an ensemble cast led by award-winning actors. The series delves into the dark and complex world of a writer grappling with unimaginable loss.
A Gripping Plot of Grief and Intrigue
The narrative centres on Aggie Wiggs, a reclusive author struggling to find inspiration for her next novel following the tragic death of her young son. Her isolated existence is shattered when a new neighbour, Nile Jarvis, moves in nearby. Jarvis is a formidable property tycoon with a dark past; he was once the prime suspect in the mysterious disappearance of his wife. Repulsed yet fascinated, Aggie begins to contemplate making Nile the sinister subject of her next literary work.
Meet the Stellar Cast
Portraying the troubled protagonist Aggie is the acclaimed Claire Danes. The 46-year-old American actress, a recipient of three Primetime Emmy Awards and four Golden Globes, is best known for her decade-long role as Carrie Mathison in the series Homeland. She is joined by her on-screen enigmatic neighbour, played by Matthew Rhys. The 51-year-old Welsh actor, famed for his roles in Brothers & Sisters and The Americans, brings Nile Jarvis to life.
The cast also features Brittany Snow as Nina Jarvis, the missing wife at the heart of the mystery. Snow, 39, is well-known for her roles in the Pitch Perfect film series. Playing Aggie's ex-wife, Shelley, is Natalie Morales, the 40-year-old actress recognised from Grey's Anatomy and Dead to Me.
Rounding out the key players are David Lyons as FBI agent Brian Abbot and veteran actor Jonathan Banks as Martin Jarvis, Nile's father. Banks, 78, is a familiar face from iconic shows like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
An Impressive Roster of Guest Stars
The series is further bolstered by a strong supporting cast, including Hettienne Park as Agent Erika Breton and guest stars such as Tim Guinee, Deirdre O'Connell, and Kate Burton, who all play pivotal roles in the unfolding drama.
With its compelling premise and a cast of celebrated actors, 'The Beast in Me' is poised to become the next must-watch thriller for UK audiences seeking a suspenseful and character-driven story. The entire series is available to stream now on Netflix.
