‘Beef' returns for Season 2. See premiere date, time
Fernando Cervantes Jr.The new season of Netflix’s hit series “Beef” is set to release this week, as the show is set to return with a whole new cast and a new beef.
Season 2 is set to premiere on Thursday, April 16, according to Netflix. In an interview with the streaming platform, creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin said the new season seeks to explore how relationships evolve.
“Season 1’s beef is so overt and aggressive. I thought Season 2 should be the inverse: a passive-aggressive beef, which is more true to life, especially in a workplace,” Lee said.
Although Season 1 stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun will most likely not be on camera in Season 2, Lee told Netflix they were deeply involved as executive producers.
“They checked in on me constantly,” Lee told Netflix. “Ali visited set. Steven and Ali got popsicles and different food trucks for the crew.”
