Netflix has shared its first look at the second season of Beef.
The popular Emmy-winning anthology series from A24 and creator Lee Sung Jin arrives to the streaming service on April 16, and the first photos from the season arrived on Wednesday.
This season features a brand-new story with a completely different cast of characters. Oscar Isaac, CareyMulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny star in season 2. The indecent that sparks the new “beef” is a Gen-Z couple witnessing an alarming fight between their millennial boss and his wife.
“Newly-engaged Ashley Miller (Spaeny) and Austin Davis (Melton), both lower-level staff at a country club, become entangled in the unraveling marriage of their General Manager, Joshua Martín (Isaac), and his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín (Mulligan),” according to its official synopsis. “Through favors and coercion, both couples vie for the approval of the elitist club’s billionaire owner, Chairwoman Park (Youn Yuh Jung), who struggles to manage her own scandal involving her second husband, Doctor Kim (Song Kang Ho).”
The cast also includes Seoyeon Jang as Eunice, William Fichtner as Troy, Mikaela Hoover as Ava and the musician BM in his acting debut as Woosh.
There will be eight 30-minute episodes in season 2. Lee returns as its creator, showrunner and executive producer. The first season’s stars, Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, also return to executive produce season 2, joined by Mulligan, Isaac, Melton and Spaeny as executive producers.
Season 1 of Beef won eight Emmy Awards, including limited or anthology series, lead actor in a limited or anthology series for Yeun and lead actress in a limited or anthology series for Wong.

Now it can be told: Last year, when Miley Cyrus started teasing “something special” for the 20th anniversary celebration of Hannah Montana, nothing had actually been planned.
“I learned this terrible habit — but I actually think it was good advice — from Dolly [Parton],” she tells Variety. “She told me that if you want something to happen, promote it before it exists. Then no one can say no. So I just started promoting a Hannah Montana 20th-anniversary special that literally did not exist.”
After telling Disney that it “would be huge,” Disney exec Charlie Andrews tells Variety, Miley “willed [the upcoming special] into existence.” In fact, they only started planning it in December. Charlie says, “The thing she was adamant about is that this is for the fans. That has gone into literally every decision she has made.”
So much so that Miley tapped Hannah Montana superfan Alex Cooper, host of the Call Her Daddy podcast, to help her create the special. “She understands Hannah in a way that I couldn’t,” Miley says. “I never got to experience Hannah being crazy in the pit with other kids.” To that end, she even listened when Alex said no to some of her ideas.
“She would go, ‘As a Hannah fan, no one wants that,’” Miley explains.
Alex also booked a cameo from Selena Gomez, who surprised Miley on set, Variety reports. “I love Selena, but I didn’t know how much our friendship meant to the fans,” Miley says.
Miley says the special, which streams on Disney+ and Hulu on March 24, is her way of “merging Hannah and Miley together.” And, she says, making the fans “feel seen.”
As she notes, “My entire life is because of that loyalty.”
The 2026 Golden Globes, hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, took place in Los Angeles Sunday night.
