Claire Danes' The Beast in Me totally took Netflix by storm — and season 2 of the thriller series is finally on its way. The first season of the show saw her character Aggie, an author, dealing with a nearly impossible case of writer's block after the death of her son. With so much loss following her, Aggie has a difficult time getting back into the art and work that used to bring her so much joy.
And when a new neighbor moves in next door named Nile (Matthew Rhys), Aggie finds herself drawn to him. Namely, his mysterious past and whether he was actually involved in his wife's murder all those years ago. And after that crazy ending that brings Nile and Aggie's relationship to a close, there's no telling what Netflix is cooking up for The Beast in Me season 2. But here's what we do know.
Keep reading for the latest update on The Beast in Me season 2 before it drops on Netflix.

"We loved making this show and our audience seemed to love watching it, so we're enormously grateful to Jinny Howe and Netflix, and to Karey Burke and 20th Television for giving us the chance to get the band back together and do it again.”
“We are thrilled to bring back The Beast in Me and to welcome Howard Gordon to the Netflix family with this creative partnership," Netflix Head of Scripted Series Jinny Howe adds. "The series captivated global audiences, delivered extraordinary performances led by Claire Danes, and earned Matthew Rhys a historic Emmy win.
