Meet the cast for Beef season 2
At last, a second season of the hit Netflix series has been confirmed.
It's been the news that fans of Beef have been waiting for but finally, Netflix have not only confirmed that season 2 is a-go – also announcing the exciting new leads.
While there's been rumours circulating about the show's future since season 1 landed on the global streamer back in April 2023, it seems as though the premise of season 2 is just as angsty as the first.
According to the official season 2 synopsis: "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."
Of course, the new Beef leads have been confirmed and consist of Oscar Isaac (Dune), Carey Mulligan (Maestro), Charles Melton (May December), and Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla). The confirmed casting comes after it had previously been rumoured that Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal were in the running to be one of the couples.
