Netflix is gearing up to unleash its haunting new drama, The Beast in Me, a series that promises to delve deep into the complexities of grief and hidden truths. The offering has stirred anticipation for its intense storytelling and gripping atmosphere, even before its release. With its premiere fast approaching, though, many are now wondering whether this dark and emotional journey will continue beyond its first season.

The title’s showrunner has addressed the burning question, offering a glimpse into the possibilities of The Beast in Me returning for a sophomore run.

Netflix’s The Beast in Me will release on November 13. Howard Gordon, the showrunner of the upcoming psychological thriller, according to TV Insider, has addressed queries about its second season, saying he is "sure" that the Claire Danes starrer has potential for a continuation. “I think there probably is a story there,” he reportedly said when asked about the limited series possibly turning into a multi-season effort. The project stars Danes as Aggie Wiggs, a grieving author who becomes entangled with her mysterious neighbor, played by Matthew Rhys.

Created by Gabe Rotter and directed by Antonio Campos, The Beast in Me marks a reunion between Claire Danes and Gordon after their acclaimed collaboration on Homeland. The eight-episode series also features Natalie Morales, Brittany Snow, Tim Guinee, and Jonathan Banks. About a limited offering becoming a series, though, has it happened before on Netflix? TV Insider provides an answer to that, too.

If The Beast in Me, in fact, returns for a second season on the streaming giant, it will not be the first series to transition from being a limited gig to an expansive one.

Untamed, starring Eric Bana, premiered on Netflix this July and quickly became one of the streamer’s biggest surprises of the year. Though originally billed as a miniseries, its gripping survival narrative and haunting atmosphere prompted an unexpected renewal just weeks after its debut. Its upcoming second season will reportedly expand on Bana’s character’s backstory while exploring the psychological aftermath of his ordeal in the wilderness.

So, whether The Beast in Me ultimately earns a second season remains to be seen, but the buzz surrounding its potential speaks to the series’ promise. If Netflix follows the path of other limited offerings like Untamed, audiences could be in for a deeper dive into the dark, twisting world Howard Gordon and Claire Danes have crafted. Regardless of what comes next, the show is poised to become a standout addition to showbiz's psychological thriller catalog, offering suspense and emotional intensity that viewers will not want to miss.
