Netflix Announces Beef Season 2 for 2026 Premiere

Netflix has announced the second season of its acclaimed anthology series Beef, set to premiere on April 16, 2026, with all eight episodes available for streaming. The A24 production, created by Lee Sung Jin, shifts from the road rage origins of its first season to a tense marital drama unfolding at an elite Southern California country club, starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny.
