John Goodman is set to join the second season of Netflix’s The Beast in Me, according to reports citing Variety. The veteran actor will reportedly play Jack, the father of Aggie Wiggs, the character played by Claire Danes.
The casting news, reported by Parade citing Variety on October 28, arrives after the show’s first season — originally conceived as a limited series — won two Emmy Awards, including Matthew Rhys’s acting win and an award for outstanding music composition. A second season was announced in September.
Goodman’s casting as the father of Danes’ character adds another heavyweight to a series that has already drawn awards recognition for its performances. Details of the second season’s plot remain under wraps, with the production keeping its cards close.
As with all casting reports sourced to trade publications, the news is best framed as reported rather than confirmed by Netflix itself — but if the reports hold, Season 2 is shaping up to be one of the streamer’s most prestige-laden returning dramas.
