Expect more bottled-up frustration, resentment and insecurity this week as Netflix‘s anthology dramedy, Beef, returns for a second season with a fresh cast and setting.
After picking up a trio of Emmy awards for its debut season, which starred Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, director and screenwriter Lee Sung Jin starts from a clean slate with an entirely different talent lineup. Great Gatsby star Carey Mulligan and Frankenstein’s Oscar Isaac lead the story as Joshua and Lindsay Martín, a couple whose marriage is more than rocky. Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton play a newly engaged couple, Ashley and Austin, who both work under the Martíns.
Produced by A24 and featuring a soundtrack by Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas, Beef is set for more dark humor as season 2 delivers another high-stakes feud. Read on to find out more on how to stream Beef’s second season this month.
What’s the plot for Beef Season 2?
As with Season 1, this sophomore run of Beef centers around a big argument. But this time it’s between between Joshua and Lindsay, who are running an exclusive Southern California country club together.
What starts off as a seemingly contained dispute quickly spirals, however, dragging in their friends and employees, including two staff members — the Gen Z couple played by Melton and Spaeny who witness their bosses’ shocking confrontation.
The fallout from the argument triggers a chain of events, leading to both couples fighting for the approval of the club’s powerful billionaire owner played by Youn Yuh-jung.
