The upcoming season will feature a star-studded cast, with Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny set to take on major roles.
MEET THE CAST
Oscar Isaac
Oscar Isaac received much acclaim for his role as the titular character in MCU’s miniseries Moon Knight. Besides this, the 45-year-old actor is also known for his impeccable acting in Scenes From a Marriage, Show Me a Hero, Dune and much more.
Carey Mulligan
Carey Mulligan is best known for her roles in Maestro, Promising Young Woman and An Education. For all three movies, she received nominations in the best actress category at the Oscars. Her other notable works include Never Let Me Go, Drive, and Shame.
Charles Melton
The 33-year-old American actor received much acclaim for his role as Reggie Mantle in Riverdale. However, Charles Melton’s acting in the Netflix drama film May December, alongside Natalie Portman, led him to earn numerous awards and nominations, including a Golden Globe nod.
Cailee Spaeny
Cailee Spaeny’s first major role was in the sci-fi film Pacific Rim Uprising. Since then, the 26-year-old has acted in Alien: Romulus, Civil War and Mare of Easttown, among others. She also starred as Priscilla Presley in the 2023 biographical drama Priscilla.
The streaming giant’s synopsis for season 2 of Beef states, “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.” The upcoming season of the anthology series will consist of eight 30-minute episodes.
Speaking of Beef’s first season, Steven Yeun plays the role of Danny Chou, a failing contractor, and Ali Wong plays Amy Chou, a self-made entrepreneur. The story unfolds when the two get involved in a road rage incident that quickly escalates and disrupts both of their lives.
The first season consisted of 10 episodes, each roughly 30 minutes long. Premiered in 2023, Beef season 1 went on to become the most recognised and award-winning anthology series of 2023-24.
