Lee Sung Jin is all set to return to Los Angeles for filming the second season of his popular Netflix series, ‘Beef’. The new season will start shooting in August 2024. This season is bringing some big stars, with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan likely joining the show along with Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny.
In the first season of ‘Beef’, we saw Amy Lau (played by Ali Wong) and Danny Cho (played by Steven Yeun) in a dramatic tale. Amy, though appearing successful, feels trapped in her life. Danny, on the other hand, is an immigrant struggling with financial problems. Their lives cross paths when they almost have an accident in a parking lot, leading them to track each other down and make each other’s lives more complicated. Their rivalry grows intense, involving more people, and ends with a touching conclusion.
What’s New in Season 2?
Season 2 of ‘Beef’ will take a new direction. Instead of continuing the first season’s story, it will tell a different tale, following an anthology format. This time, the focus will be on two couples who are in conflict with each other. Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny are expected to play the younger couple, while Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan might portray the older couple. Initially, the older couple’s roles were offered to Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, but they didn’t sign on.
