Where’s the Beef (season two teaser trailer)? I’m glad you asked. (Also, it’s at the bottom of this story.)
On Thursday, Netflix dropped the teaser trailer for Beef season two, which this time stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan. They play a married couple, so that’s not where the titular beef lies — well, no more than any other struggling married couple, I guess.
Beef season two sees newly-engaged couple Ashley Miller (Cailee Spaeny) and Austin Davis (Charles Melton), both low-level staffers at a country club, “become entangled in the unraveling marriage of their general manager… and his wife,” the sophomore season synopsis reads. That would be Joshua Martín (Isaac) and Lindsay Crane-Martín (Mulligan), respectively.
“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 description continues.
Seoyeon Jang also stars on season two with Youn Yuh-jung, Song Kang-Ho, William Fichtner, Mikaela Hoover and the Congolese-born, British musician BM, a stage name which is derived from his real name Bolia Matundu.
All eight episodes of A24’s Beef season two launch on April 16, 2026 on Netflix.
Beef was created by Lee Sung Jin, who serves as showrunner and executive produces the anthology series alongside season one stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong and season two stars Mulligan, Isaac, Melton and Spaeny. Additional executive producers are director Jake Schreier, Anna Moench, Kitao Sakurai and Ethan Kuperberg.

In her Beef season one review, The Hollywood Reporter critic Angie Han called the Yeun/Wong rivalry “hilarious.” But it was so much more than that.
“What’s less expected, however — and what really lingers once the dust has settled — is the series’ emphasis on the characters’ flawed humanity, and its disarming sense of empathy for their existential despair,” Han wrote.
