The Beast in Me is a twisty psychological thriller that Netflix launched with big names like Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys, and it has a lot of mystery. The ending of The Beast in Me intentionally leaves certain things vaguely unsolved. Produced by Howard Gordon and Gabe Rotter, the show was released on Netflix in the form of an eight-part limited series.Nevertheless, the underlying latent messages and the mysteries that the fans have not been able to solve have them asking the same question: Will there be a The Beast in Me Season 2? Gordon has indicated that there might be additional storylines to be explored, although Netflix has not officially sanctioned a second season as of yet.Why The Beast in Me finale feels like both an ending and a doorway View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe ending of The Beast in Me closes the Nile riddle in a manner that is both satisfying and, to some extent, even cruel. Nile is caught when his wife, Nina, secretly tapes him confessing to his offenses, and as a result, he is arrested. However, it does not stop there; as we see later, he is killed in prison, and Aggie embarks on a hard life of proving her innocence and regaining her creative voice.This two-fold conclusion, the legal justice and a dramatic finale twist, provides the viewers with some closure, but at the same time, leaves them with new questions about culpability, legacy, and whether individuals become monsters or are made into monsters by people.The Beast in Me truly borders on ethical ambiguity: the compelling story Aggie wants, how the community desperately wants to find a scapegoat to pin all the blame on, and the emotional fallout of it all. That combination between a mystery that has been solved and the feelings that remain unresolved is precisely the reason why Season 2 would be effective.There are characters, such as Nina, Aggie, and the other people around them, who can still tell their stories without invalidating the dramatic conclusion of The Beast in Me Season 1.What Showrunner Howard Gordon actually saidHoward Gordon attends Netflix's "The Beast In Me" FYC event at Netflix Tudum Theater - Source: GettyHoward Gordon has not drawn a line on The Beast in Me Season 2, but neither has he ruled it out. In more recent interviews, he claimed that the show raises large questions, such as what is real and what tales we ourselves invent in our heads, and that he admits that there is, in fact, a story there that could be explored, should Netflix want it and the timing be right.Howard Gordon told TV Insider, when asked about a second season,“The short answer is, I would say, sure..… I think there probably is a story there.”That wording is important. He is not fooling around intentionally with a sequel. It is more of a sensible, producer-style solution. Show creators tend to leave room in an attempt to add more stories, but the final decision is based on factors such as budgets, viewership, schedule, and actors' availability.In a recent interview with TheWrap, Howard Gordon said:“I think that to the extent that Aggie is a writer who has been delivered to this next stage of her life, whatever that stage is … if there is a story, there might be more. I am tempted by the character of her grifter father in some way. We’ll see how the show does and if an idea comes. But I think they’d be open to more.”Gordon has also discussed some of his characters he would like to learn more about. Thus, in case The Beast in Me Season 2 is ever made, it would probably emphasize the emotional and psychological aspects of the story rather than replicate the same twists.When a showrunner claims they would consider delving more into the plotlines that could emerge from the first season of a show, then usually it means two things: they have ideas and interest, and it can only occur if Netflix and the whole team can make it work.For more such insights on The Beast in Me, keep following SoapCentral.
