The Beast in Me Renewed for Season 2 by Netflix

Netflix has officially renewed The Beast in Me for a second season, extending the story of the breakout limited series beyond its original run.

The renewal comes as a surprise because the show was initially developed as a limited series. Claire Danes is set to return in her Emmy-nominated role as Aggie Wiggs and will also continue as an executive producer.
