Netflix\u2019s The Beast in Me<\/em> follows a sinister story of a grieving author who starts to question whether her wealthy neighbor killed his first wife \u2014 but how did the psychological thriller end?<\/a><\/p>\n The miniseries, which premiered on Thursday, November 13, introduced Aggie (Claire Danes<\/strong>) as she struggled to write her next book following her son\u2019s death. Aggie blamed a local teenager Teddy (Bubba Weiler<\/strong>) who was responsible after drinking and driving. She then met Nile (Matthew Rhys<\/strong>) \u2014 a wealthy man who moved next door \u2014 and his second wife, Nina (Brittany Snow<\/strong>).<\/p>\n Despite knowing that Nile\u2019s first wife<\/a> disappeared under surprising circumstances, Aggie found her research into him forming a confusing connection. Aggie\u2019s initial investigation led to her thinking Nile wasn\u2019t at fault but Teddy\u2019s sudden disappearance and more digging around led to a different revelation<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI never get to play roles like this where I\u2019m generally the mustache twirling bad guy and unashamedly so as he is in this piece,\u201d Rhys, 51, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> about the confusion surrounding Nile. \u201cSo I relish the thought and opportunity of that.\u201d<\/p>\n Aggie realized Nile was responsible just<\/a> as he framed her for Teddy\u2019s murder. He almost got away with it but his wife, Nina, and others looking into Nile were able to get his arrested, which is where he got killed.<\/p>\n \u201cI was sort of glad but I think karmically you need it. The audience needs the redemptive element that bad things happen to bad people and if you do bad things, bad things will happen back,\u201d Rhys noted. \u201cI was sad in a way because I was really hoping that I could come back for season 2.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cAggie and Nile could come into work as a tandem in cracking murders [in season 2]. Clearly I won\u2019t. I did pitch that in the beginning of the second season that I sit up on the gurney in the ambulance.\u201d<\/p>\n Elsewhere in the finale, Nina gave birth to her and Nile\u2019s child \u2014 with the last scene showing her questioning<\/a> whether their baby would inherit Nile\u2019s worst traits.<\/p>\n \u201cI jumped up. I actually audibly let out a scream or a little squeal and I jumped up out of my seat that I was sitting in,\u201d Snow, 39, told Us<\/em> about the conclusion to Nina\u2019s story. \u201cI was so excited for my character and for Nina for standing up for myself and for herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
