The fine line between reality and insanity is what captivates us the most in a story. An upcoming Netflix miniseries called The Beast in Me explores this topic in great detail. The well-known author Aggie Wiggs has distanced herself from the world since the untimely death of her young son, which has prevented her from writing or living life to the fullest.

When Nile Jarvis, a wealthy real estate tycoon who was once thought to be responsible for his wife’s disappearance, moves in next door, her life takes a drastic turn. Aggie gets caught up in his sinister past, horrified but fascinated. What starts out as book research becomes a risky obsession and a game of cat and mouse that could end up costing her more than she ever thought.

When and Where to Enter the Beast

You won’t have to wait long to step into Aggie’s unsettling world. On Thursday, November 13, 2025, The Beast in Me will go live exclusively on Netflix. The eight captivating episodes of the miniseries were all released on the day of the premiere. Viewers can binge-watch the entire psychological mystery in one sitting with a Netflix subscription that starts at $7.99.
