BEEF Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

Get ready to sink your teeth into BEEF Season 2!

The show that turned a simple road rage incident into a full-blown war is back with fresh faces, new grudges, and a whole new setting.

Originally meant to be a one-and-done limited series, BEEF became such a smash hit in 2023 that it’s now shifting into an anthology format — bringing an entirely new story to the table for Season 2.

With new characters and even wilder twists, this next chapter promises to crank up the chaos even higher while keeping the sharp humor and tension that made the first season unforgettable.

Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming up on BEEF Season 2!

What is BEEF about?

BEEF is a darkly funny series created by Lee Sung Jin, inspired by his own real-life road rage incident (though it didn’t escalate quite as it does in the show).

In the show, what begins as a minor moment of frustration spirals into a wild, chaotic story about how unchecked anger can unravel lives in unexpected ways.

Season 1 followed two strangers whose petty feud escalated into a full-blown, life-altering disaster.

With its sharp mix of humor, chaos, and raw emotion, the show cleaned up at the awards, snagging multiple Emmys.

What Happened in BEEF Season 1?

Season 1 of BEEF threw us right into the messy lives of Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong).

What started as a close call in a parking lot turned into a full-on road rage meltdown, and before they knew it, Danny and Amy were locked in a feud that spiraled way out of control.

Between catfishing, break-ins, and even attempted arson, their lives unraveled fast as their revenge plot became more and more destructive.

By the season’s end, Danny and Amy had completely hit rock bottom, leaving viewers eager to discover just how much worse things could get — or if they’d even make it out of their chaotic downward spiral alive.

What’s the New Story for BEEF Season 2?

In Season 2, we leave behind the road rage and head straight into the high-society world of a country club.

This time, a young couple finds themselves in the middle of a fiery argument between their boss and his wife, kicking off a tense game of power, favors, and manipulation.

With egos soaring and stakes even higher, things are bound to spiral out of control in this world of secrets and status.

Will the couple get sucked into the chaos — or start stirring the pot themselves?

Who Stars in BEEF Season 2?

Although we don’t yet know what roles each actor will play in BEEF Season 2, the cast lineup is packed with talent.

Oscar-winner Youn Yuh-jung, who gained international acclaim for Minari and, more recently, Pachinko, brings decades of experience to the new season.

Oscar Isaac, known for his film work in Dune and Ex Machina, also shined in HBO’s Show Me a Hero, where he won a Golden Globe.

Carey Mulligan, whose standout roles include Promising Young Woman, Maestro, and The Great Gatsby, brings her versatility to the series.

Charles Melton, a familiar face from Riverdale, and Cailee Spaeny, who earned praise for portraying Priscilla Presley in Priscilla, round out this impressive ensemble.

Who’s Behind the BEEF Series?

The creative powerhouse behind BEEF is back for Season 2!

Creator Lee Sung Jin returns as the showrunner, continuing to steer the series with his sharp, darkly comedic vision.

Alongside him are executive producers Jake Schreier, Steven Yeun, and Ali Wong — familiar faces for fans of the first season.

And with production led by A24, the studio that consistently pushes the envelope with innovative, character-driven stories, you can bet that Season 2 will be just as bold, chaotic, and wildly entertaining as the first.

From Road Rage to Power Plays: What Kind of Beefs Are We In For?

Season 1 served up 15 beefs- everything from petty Yelp reviews to life-threatening encounters- — and they escalated quickly.

Now that we’re shifting to the world of country clubs and billionaires, we can only guess what new conflicts will emerge.

Will this young couple find themselves at war with the club’s elites, or will they get tangled up in the boss and wife’s personal feud?

If there’s one thing we know, Beef knows how to turn even the smallest conflict into a full-blown disaster.

Will BEEF Season 2 Titles Be Just as Meaningful?

In Season 1, each episode title was a nod to famous literary or philosophical quotes, adding a deeper layer to the chaos unfolding on screen.

Whether it was Werner Herzog in Episode 1, “The Birds Don’t Sing, They Screech in Pain,” or Carl Jung in Episode 10, “Figures of Light,” these titles gave fans plenty to think about.

Will Season 2 keep up the tradition? It’s safe to say that with a whole new setting and a fresh set of conflicts, the titles will once again pack some intellectual punch.

Maybe this time around, we’ll get some Lawrence Ferlinghetti or Neil Young?

When Will BEEF Season 2 Be Released?

No official release date has been announced yet, but it could hit our screens as early as 2025.

How Many Episodes of BEEF Season 2 Will There Be?

Season 2 will feature eight 30-minute episodes, giving fans a slightly shorter but, we’re guessing, no less intense experience compared to the 10-episode first season.

Where Can I Watch BEEF Season 2?

Just like Season 1, the new season of BEEF will stream on Netflix.

Is There a BEEF Season 2 Trailer?

Unfortunately, there’s no BEEF Season 2 trailer just yet! While details are still under wraps, we’re hoping it won’t be long before we get a sneak peek at the chaos brewing in this world of high-society beefs.

Stay tuned — we’re sure things are bound to get messy!
