What is The Beast in Me about?
After the death of her young son, author Aggie Wiggs has withdrawn from public life and lost the ability to write. Her new neighbor, Nile Jarvis, is a formidable real-estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance. Aggie sees him as a possible subject for a book and begins compulsively investigating him. Her fascination draws her into a dangerous psychological game in which the search for truth may put her at risk.

The premise is less a straightforward whodunit than a story about the investigator’s motives and vulnerabilities. Aggie’s grief shapes her pursuit, while her decision to turn another person’s trauma into material raises questions about authorship, voyeurism and moral projection. The series’ teaser captures its dark pull: “We are, all of us… drawn to monsters. We flirt with death to prove we’re truly alive.”
Is it a limited series, and how many episodes are there?

Who made the series?

Danes is also an executive producer, and 20th Television is the studio.

What book inspired The Beast in Me?
Claire Danes said she kept returning to Janet Malcolm’s The Journalist and the Murderer while working on the series. It is a relevant companion read for the show’s interest in the uneasy relationship between a writer and the person who becomes a subject—not evidence that the series adapts Malcolm’s book or a real case.
