Additional details about the second season - including its plot and any other returning cast members - are being kept under wraps.
Howard Gordon and Daniel Pearle will serve as co-showrunners on the second season. Furthermore, Netflix and Gordon have forged a new creative partnership where he will develop new series exclusively for the streamer.
Gordon, Pearle and Danes will executive produce the second season with series creator Gabe Rotter, Caroline Baron, Amy Lippman, Conan O'Brien, David Kissinger, Jeff Ross, Jodie Foster and Season 1 director Antonio Campos. 20th Television, Conaco and Teakwood Lane Productions produce.
"We always told ourselves we'd only do a second season of The Beast in Me if we found a story that was worthy of the first - and I'm thrilled to say we found it," said Gordon. "We loved making this show and our audience seemed to love watching it, so we're enormously grateful to Jinny Howe and Netflix, and to Karey Burke and 20th Television for giving us the chance to get the band back together and do it again."
"We are thrilled to bring back The Beast in Me and to welcome Howard Gordon to the Netflix family with this creative partnership," added Jinny Howe, Head of Scripted Series, Netflix. "The series captivated global audiences, delivered extraordinary performances led by Claire Danes, and earned Matthew Rhys a historic Emmy win. We are incredibly proud of what Howard Gordon, Gabe Rotter, and the entire cast and crew achieved. We can't wait for audiences to see what Howard and Daniel Pearle have in store for the next season."
