Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys are facing off in TV’s newest game of cat and mouse in Netflix’s new thriller, The Beast in Me , premiering in November.

Aggie’s “stuck,” and Nile thinks she’s the one who can repair his image, says showrunner, writer, and executive producer Howard Gordon . She also thinks he can help her; the acclaimed author has been unable to write and has withdrawn from the public eye since her young son’s tragic death, and she’s eyeing him as the subject for her new book.
