Last year the miniseries “Beef” with Steven Yeun (“The Walking Dead”) and Ali Wong (“Birds Of Prey”) caused a sensation. The dark drama format not only topped the Netflix charts for weeks, but was also highly praised by critics. The series also won several prestigious awards, including eight Primetime Emmy Awards.
Like now from an article by As you can see, ‘Beef’ will be surprisingly expanded with a second season. Jake Gyllenhaal (“Prisoners”), Anne Hathaway (“The Dark Knight Rises”), Cailee Spaeny (“Priscilla”) and Charles Melton (“May December”) are reportedly currently in talks to star in the second season . What’s important at this point is that these are just rumors; nothing in this direction has been confirmed yet.
“Beef” season 2: feuding couples at the center?
As the article also states, the scripts for the second season of “Beef” are said to have already been written and either already submitted to Netflix and production company A24 or will be submitted soon. Apparently, the second season will center on two couples who attack each other for an as-yet-unexplained reason. Whether this is actually the case remains to be seen. But it is precisely the cast that is apparently being considered that arouses interest.
Lee Sung Jin, the creator of “Beef”, had indicated in December 2023 that he was willing to bring back Ali Wong and Steven Yeun for more episodes – even if the ending of the first season was quite clear or final (in the end, the format was actually conceived as a standalone miniseries). Whether this will happen – like everything else – remains to be seen. In any case, further episodes would ensure that ‘Beef’ would no longer continue as a miniseries, but – if the story from season 1 were not further expanded – as an anthology format.
