Netflix’s psychological crime thriller The Beast in Me is adding John Goodman to its Season 2 cast. ComingSoon.net reports the veteran actor will appear opposite Claire Danes, while Deadline and Variety similarly describe his casting for the upcoming second season.
All the outlets say Netflix has not released specific plot details for Season 2 yet. TVLine frames the news as part of a broader casting update, while the other outlets focus more directly on Goodman’s role and how it connects to Danes’ returning character, Aggie Wiggs. Variety adds that Goodman will play Jack, Aggie’s father.
Taken together, the coverage centers on the confirmed casting pairing between Goodman and Danes and the fact that Season 2 story information remains undisclosed, with differences mainly in how prominently the role name is mentioned and where the news sits within each outlet’s overall dispatch.
