Following its acclaimed first season that dominated the Emmys, the hit Netflix series Beef is set to return with season 2 that would focus on a brand new cast and new story.
Fans have been wondering what they have in store for its sophomore run and which stars they will cast to play the characters in the new season's inciting incident.
Netflix's Beef Returns For Season 2, What is It About?
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, season 2 centers on a young couple who 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.
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. There are no plans (yet) for them to show up in front of the camera.
Who Will Star in Beef Season 2? New Cast Confirmed
Beef season 2 is slated to have a star-studded cast as they follow the footsteps of Yeun, Wong, Young Mazino, Joseph Lee, and Maria Bello in the first season.
Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight), Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman), Charles Melton (Riverdale), and Cailee Spaeny (Priscilla) will star in the upcoming season.
The details regarding their roles are still being kept under wraps, but Netflix is expected to announce it at some point in the future.
There is no doubt that season 2 is going bigger with its cast based on the names that they have recruited. After all, season 1 has proven that the series is a good acting vehicle for any actors who would join the Beef world.
It is exciting to see which other actors will they recruit to play the supporting roles and whether the season 1 cast members will also return in some capacity.
