The first season of “Beef” made a freeway-level flash of anger feel like an origin story. Season 2 looks like it wants the opposite: rage with manners—contained, rehearsed, and carefully insulated behind gates where the staff is expected to absorb the spillover and keep smiling.
Netflix and A24 have released an official teaser and new photos for the eight-episode anthology’s second installment, with Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, Cailee Spaeny, Seoyeon Jang, Youn Yuh-jung, Song Kang-ho, William Fichtner, Mikaela Hoover, and BM set to star.

The new season will kick off when a young couple witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife—an “incident” that won’t stay contained for long, instead setting off a high-stakes game of favors and coercion inside an elitist world ruled by a Korean billionaire. In other words, the setting has shifted from a parking lot to a country club, but the central idea remains the same—one private rupture will become social currency everyone can spend, weaponize, or deny, depending on what they need.
Isaac will play Joshua Martín, the country club’s general manager, with Mulligan as his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín. Spaeny’s Ashley Miller and Melton’s Austin Davis—newly engaged and working lower on the ladder—will become entangled in the Martín marriage as both couples jockey for approval from Chairwoman Park (Youn), the club’s billionaire owner. Park will also be grappling with her own scandal involving her second husband, Dr. Kim (Song), tightening the sense that even at the top, the clean surfaces are just another kind of cover.
Created by Lee Sung Jin (also an uncredited writer on Marvel‘s “Thunderbolts*”), the new installment will continue the anthology format and will run eight episodes, with executive producers including Jake Schreier, Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, Anna Moench, Kitao Sakurai, and Ethan Kuperberg.
“Beef” Season 2 will premiere on Netflix on April 16, 2026. Watch the trailer below.
