Netflix is ramping up the stakes for the second season of Beef with an impressive roster of talent.
The debut series dove into the lives of Danny Cho (played by Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong) whose fierce conflict spirals out of a road rage confrontation.
Engulfed in a cycle of retribution, their vendetta grows intensely personal, pushing both characters to extremes they never imagined.
Despite Danny and Amy’s narrative concluding, Beef aims to captivate audiences once more as an anthology series, promising fresh faces in upcoming episodes.
Big-screen heavyweights Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan are set to headline the new instalment, joined by Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny, Netflix has confirmed, reports the Mirror.
Isaac, widely recognised for his portrayal of Poe Dameron in the recent Star Wars films and as Duke Leto Atreides in Dune, stands alongside Mulligan, who garnered critical acclaim for her roles in Promising Young Woman and Maestro.
Melton rose to fame on the CW’s Riverdale and earned a Golden Globe nod for his role in May December, whereas Spaeny seized the spotlight with her performances in Alien: Romulus, Civil War and Priscilla.
Tudum offers a sneak peek at what awaits viewers: “This season’s inciting incident? A young couple witnesses 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.”
With its talented ensemble and captivating concept, the second season of Beef is poised to be an unmissable event for Netflix viewers, but will it match the exceptional standard set by its predecessor?
