The hit Emmy-winning anthology series Beef is officially cooking up a dramatic new chapter. Netflix has released the full-length official trailer for the highly anticipated second season, offering fans a fiery first look at the show’s brand-new ensemble. Created by Lee Sung Jin and produced by A24, the acclaimed comedy-drama shifts its focus from the life-destroying road-rage rivalry of its debut to a high-stakes game of coercion, starring Hollywood heavyweights Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan alongside rising stars Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny.
Moving away from the events of the first installment, BEEF Season 2 zeroes in on two couples tangled in a chaotic web of class, favors, and dysfunction at an elite country club. The plot follows lower-level staff members—newly-engaged Ashley Miller (Spaeny) and Austin Davis (Melton)—who inadvertently witness an alarming altercation between the club’s General Manager, Joshua Martín (Isaac), and his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín (Mulligan). As Ashley and Austin become further deeply entangled in the couple’s unraveling marriage, both pairs find themselves vying for the approval of the club’s billionaire owner, Chairwoman Park (Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung). Adding to the tension, Park is simultaneously trying to manage a major scandal involving her own second husband, Doctor Kim (Song Kang-Ho).
The newly released trailer perfectly captures the show’s signature blend of dark humor and intense drama. In one striking sequence, Lindsay confesses to Ashley over paper cups of wine that her marriage was a “temporary band-aid” used to cover “the immense pain of knowing you picked the wrong person.”
Behind the scenes, creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin returns to helm the new eight-episode season. First-season stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong also return to serve as executive producers, joined in the role by new cast members Isaac, Mulligan, Melton, and Spaeny. The highly anticipated second season of Beef is officially set to premiere globally on Netflix on April 16, 2026.
