Netflix Orders Limited Series 'The Beast in Me' Starring Claire Danes

Netflix has today given a series order to the original limited series The Beast in Me starring Emmy Award winner Claire Danes (Homeland, Fleishman Is in Trouble). 






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 bough by Nile Sheldon, 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.

Gabe Rotter created the series, with Howard Gordon set to serve as showrunner. They will executive produce with Danes, Jodie Foster, Conan O'Brien, Jeff Ross, David Kissinger and Daniel Pearle. 20th Television and Conaco will produce.
