Netflix renews the highly acclaimed series "Beef," with an A-list cast, as Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Meston, and Cailee Spaeny are attached to appear in the anthology show's second season from creator Lee Sung Jin. The new season, Netflix said, will focus on a young couple that "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 second season will have eight 30-minute episodes, with Lee returning as creator, showrunner, and executive producer. Jake Schreier will also executive produce, along with season one stars and executive producers Steven Yeun and Ali Wong. The first season of "Beef" paired Wong and Yeun as two people whose lives spiral out of control after a road rage incident. The series premiered last year to widespread critical acclaim and then went on to take home eight Emmy Awards, including best limited or anthology series.
"Beef" season two will see Isaac reunited with Mulligan, who appeared with him in The Coen Brothers' 2013 comedy-drama "Inside Llewyn Davis." Isaac has also featured in series such as "Show Me a Hero," "Scenes from a Marriage," and "Moon Knight"; Mulligan's seen in shows like "Bleak House" and "Collateral." Meston was terrific in "May December," which got her a Golden Globe nomination, besides films like "Bad Boys for Life," "Warfare," and series like "Riverdale" and "American Horror Story." Spaeny last featured in "Alien: Romulus," Sofia Coppola's "Priscilla," and Alex Garland's "Civil War."
