The Beast in Me teaser trailer shows the stars play a game of cat and mouse in a new thriller coming this autumn

Claire Danes (Fleishman Is in Trouble, Homeland) and Matthew Rhys (The Americans, Perry Mason) will find that out for themselves in The Beast in Me, a new eight-episode drama coming this fall from creator Gabe Rotter (The X-Files). Danes plays Aggie Wiggs, a grieving writer; Rhys plays Nile Jarvis, her new neighbor and possible murderer. But who’s the monster? And who’s the bad neighbor? That’s another story. You can find out on November 13.

What’s the story in more detail?

From the press release:

…acclaimed author Aggie Wiggs (Danes) has receded from public life since the tragic death of her young son, unable to write, 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 — chasing his demons while fleeing her own — in a game of cat and mouse that might turn deadly.

The press release also list a whole host of other actors. A slew of executive producers includes Jodie Foster. Here’s the teaser:
