Following its acclaimed first season that dominated the Emmys, the hit Netflix series Beef is set to return with a second season that will focus on a brand-new cast and story.
Fans have been wondering what they have in store for its sophomore run, including which stars will be cast to play the characters in the new season's inciting incident, and when it is expected to be released.
What is the Plot of Beef Season 2?
Season 2 of Beef will focus on a brand-new storyline that won't have any direct connection at all to the first season.
According to the official logline from Netflix, the upcoming season will focus on 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.
The upcoming season will consist of eight 30-minute episodes. Lee Sung Jin will return as creator, showrunner, and executive producer. Jake Schreier is also expected to continue as an executive producer.
The stars of the first season, Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, will return as executive producers. They are not expected to make an on-screen appearance and reprise their Emmy-winning roles.

Ashley and Austin appear deeply in love, while Joshua and Lindsay seem to be the opposite, constantly arguing and fighting.
As Ashley and Austin witness Joshua and Lindsay physically battling and even recording their feud, tensions begin to rise.
