Rueben's Ramblings

The new drama The Beast in Me will debut online on Netflix on November 13.

Since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (Claire Danes) has receded from public life, unable to write, a ghost of her former self.

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.

The ensemble cast includes Brittany Snow, David Lyons, Kate Burton, Tim Guinee, Natalie Morales, Jonathan Banks, Bill Irwin, Aleyse Shannon and Julie Ann Emery.
