Netflix has officially announced that Beef will return for a second season, with Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny set to star.
The official logline reads: 'A young couple witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering chess moves of favours and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner.' The season will consist of eight 30-minute episodes. Lee Sung Jin returns as creator, showrunner and executive producer, with Steven Yeun, Ali Wong and Jake Schreier also executive producing. A24 is the studio.
The first season of Beef, starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, debuted in 2023 to critical acclaim. It won eight Emmy Awards, including best limited or anthology series. The story followed two people involved in a road rage incident that escalates and disrupts both of their lives.
Isaac, known for roles in Moon Knight, Star Wars and Dune, previously appeared with Mulligan in the Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis. Mulligan is a three-time Oscar nominee for Maestro, Promising Young Woman and An Education. Melton earned critical acclaim for May December, while Spaeny recently starred in Alien: Romulus and Civil War.
