The Beast in Me has completed its first run, and fans are curious about Season 2. The psychological drama has led viewers to question if it could stretch beyond its eight-episode run. The show was released as a limited series; however, after the final credits rolled, viewers naturally wondered whether this was the start of something even bigger.
Has Netflix canceled The Beast in Me or renewed it for Season 2?
Unfortunately, Netflix has neither renewed nor canceled The Beast in Me season 2. The release was stylized as a limited series, meaning it was meant to end after eight episodes. Thus, it is highly unlikely in a traditional sense that The Beast in Me returns for season 2.
However, it is not entirely impossible. The show’s creator, Howard Gordon, has hinted at a new storyline. During an interview, he said (via Deadline), “It was meant to be a limited series. It certainly is possible, because whoever is left standing at the end of this is still around, and I think if there’s a story, we’d be up for it; I do think that there’s certainly room for another chapter.”
This reaffirms the hopes of fans who are hoping for a season 2 announcement for The Beast in Me. The director might approach Netflix with a fresh plot, and it could be a factor in the renewal process.
However, it still depends on the popularity of the show and whether it will be profitable to the platform while making a new season. This entire process typically takes between one and two months. Thus, an official statement is the only fact that will confirm things.
The official synopsis of the show reads, “A famous author is pulled into a twisted mind game with her rich, powerful new neighbor — who might be a murderer.”
