Beef: Will season 2 become an anthology? These actors are said to be taking on the lead role

• A second season for “Beef” has not yet been confirmed.
• But it seems as if Netflix will soon order the new episodes.
• Contrary to Lee Sung Jin’s first statement, the new season could become an anthology.

So far, a second season of “Beef” has not been commissioned by Netflix. However, it seems as if the streamer will soon give the starting signal for new episodes. As series creator Lee Sung Jin reveals during the 2024 Emmys, he plans to turn his series into an anthology.

This contradicts his statement from last year, in which he talked about wanting to continue with Danny and Amy’s story. Netflix may be more positive about the idea of ​​making an anthology of Beef, especially after the rumors about the potential cast became known.

I wanted the ending of Beef Season 1 to feel coherent just in case. But I already have a lot of ideas to keep this story going. If we are blessed with a second season, I think there are plenty of opportunities for Danny and Amy to continue. I have a really big general idea that I’m not allowed to share yet, but I currently have three seasons in mind.

“Beef” Season 2: Start

Since “Beef” has not yet been renewed, there is no start date for the second season yet. If the series is extended until the summer of 2024, then it is quite possible that we will see the second season Summer/fall 2025 expected.

“Beef” season 2: plot

“Beef” does not focus on the guerrilla war between Danny and Amy, as initially assumed, but rather on the reasons for the two characters’ anger and frustration. The core idea is to show that we can’t possibly know what strangers are going through. Amy and Danny also realize this at the end of the first season of “Beef”.

At the end of the season, the quarreling duo finds themselves largely in a desert. Forced by the same fate and bound together by accidental poisoning, they understand how they relate to each other and that they have a lot in common. It almost seems as if they are on the way to becoming friends. But then Danny is gunned down by Amy’s husband George, who assumed Danny was attacking his wife.

In the final scene of the season, Amy wakes up at Danny’s hospital bed. It is implied that many days pass like this and Danny is slowly on the mend. It can therefore be assumed that the second season will deal with Danny’s recovery. The newfound friendship between Danny and Amy could also be in focus. However, details have not yet been revealed.

There are currently rumors that the second season could accompany two new characters.

The series could remain limited. It was definitely a very short story. But if Netflix wanted to continue, it could also be an anthology. It can be many things. It’s because of the great algorithm. We’re all waiting to hear it. We always presented the season to buyers as an anthology series. There should always be new beef, new characters. But whether it remains limited or returns as an anthology or whether we continue to exist, if they tell me, I’m sure you’ll know too.

“Beef” Season 2: Cast

The main roles in the first season of “Beef” were played by Oscar nominee Steven Yeun (“The Walking Dead”) and comedy actress Ali Wong (“American Housewife”). Other roles in the first season include Ashley Park (“Emily in Paris”), Joseph Lee (“Star Trek: Picard”), Young Mazino (“New Amsterdam”), David Choe (“The Mandalorian”) and Patti Yasutake (“Star Trek: The Next Century”).

They are supported by Maria Bello (“NCIS”), Justin H. Min (“The Umbrella Academy”), Andrew Santino (“Dave”) and musician Rek Lee aka. Rekstizzy. If the second season continues with Amy and Danny’s story, then we can assume that most of the cast from the first season will return.

However, if Netflix decides to make the series into an anthology, then we will see numerous new actors in “Beef” Season 2. There is currently speculation that former co-stars of “Brokeback Mountain” and “Love and other Drugs” Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway could take on the main roles in the second season.

“Beef” Season 2: Production

“Beef” was created by Lee Sung Jin (“Undone”) and produced by broadcaster A24 on behalf of Netflix. Steven Yeun, Ali Wong, Jake Schreier (“Dave”) and Matthew Medlin (“Tacoma FD”) also worked as producers.
