We've definitely got no issues with these actors.
Netflix revealed Oct. 22 that Beef will be returning for a second season. And in the next installment of the anthology series, Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny will find themselves at odds.
As for how the feud unravels? Well Netflix shared in its press release that season two follows a young couple who witness "an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering chess moves of favors and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner." As of now, there are no further details—including when fans can sit down to watch.
The show's creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin shared his excitement about the new season, posting to his Instagram Story Oct. 22 and writing, "Here we go again."
And fans were equally thrilled about the news, with one commenting on Netflix's Instagram announcement, "I speak for everyone when I say we will be seated."
Season one of Beef starred Steven Yeun and Ali Wong—who are both staying on as executive producers for the show—as strangers who nearly get into a car accident that sparks an intense feeling of road rage, and quickly escalates into finding new ways to destroy each other's lives. The show won eight Emmy Awards including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, as well as Lead Actor and Lead Actress statues for Steven and Ali, respectively.
According to creator Lee, the show was inspired by his own experience with a road rage incident in the spring of 2019 when a driver behind him lay on his horn after Lee didn't move fast enough when the light turned green.
Lee recalled that the driver pulled up alongside him and "said a bunch of shit," he told Rolling Stone in 2023, "and zoomed away."
"I was like, 'You know what? That's not OK to do to someone. I'm going to follow you home,'" he explained, noting that he "didn't really have a plan."
Lee followed the other car down the freeway before pulling up next to him, giving him a two-fingered "I'm watching you" gesture and driving away. And in some ways the show has been cathartic, as he joked, "I honestly haven't had road rage since I started developing this show."
While you wait for season two of Beef, keep reading to see which other shows will soon be hitting the same screen.
