She will be joined by the star of the Perry Mason revival, as well as The Americans and Brothers & Sisters in Welsh actor Matthew Rhys. Also in the cast will be Brittany Snow from The Hunting Wives and The Walking Dead Dead City's Natalie Morales.

According to the show's synopsis, since the tragic death of her young son, acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (Danes) has receded from public life, unable to write. She has become a ghost of her former self.

But she finds an unlikely subject for a new book when the house next door is bought by Nile Jarvis (Rhys), a famed and formidable real estate mogul who was once the prime suspect in his wife’s disappearance. At once horrified and fascinated by this man, Aggie finds herself compulsively hunting for the truth.

She begins to chase down his demons while fleeing her own in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly. The show asks who’s the real monster? And who’s the bad neighbour?

Not much more details about the story are known with Netflix keeping any twists under wraps. With promises of plenty of secrets to unravel it gives the feel of a Harlan Coben story and should be perfect for fans of the writer's adaptations.

The showrunner has been named as Howard Gordon who previously helped develop the show Homeland and 24. Beast In Me is created by author and screenwriter Gabe Rotter who has written episodes of The X Files.

Fans have already started to share their excitement for the series release and are planning accordingly. Responding to the news on social media, one commented: "Looks like November 13 is officially 'cancel all plans' day."

Another added: "Secrets, suspense, and stellar cast, this series is already giving chills before it even drops." While a third posted: "This sounds like the perfect binge for a cold November night."

Someone else simply declared: "I was sold when I read ‘Homeland’ one of the best series to exist."

The showrunner hasn't shared too many details as yet but they did comment on their excitement of reuniting with Danes after Homeland, and pairing her with Rhys.

He said: “I’ve always appreciated Matthew (Rhys)'s work, but seeing him with Claire on our first Zoom made me especially excited that he’s agreed to play Nile. We’re all looking forward to working with him!”

The Beast In Me is streaming on Netflix from November 13.
