## Summary

Netflix is developing a second season of *The Beast in Me*, which was originally conceived as a miniseries. The show’s first season was successful and won Matthew Rhys an Emmy, prompting Netflix to continue the story.

John Goodman has joined the cast as the father of Claire Danes’s character, Aggie Wiggs, and is described as a lifelong con artist. Danes is the only confirmed returning cast member so far; plot details are being kept secret, while Rhys’s character is unlikely to return because of the first season’s ending. Goodman is also due to appear in season three of *The Last of Us*.
