When Does the Rest of ‘Beef’ Season 2 Come Out? Release Schedule, Episode Count and More for the Netflix Anthology

One of the TV premieres we’re most excited about this month, Netflix dark comedy Beef is back for Season 2 and it’s bringing with it a seriously star-studded cast: We’re talking Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, Cailee Spaeny and Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung, among others.

And, of course, there’s a delicious dispute at the center of the new episodes, this time surrounding a Gen Z couple who witnesses an alarming fight between their millennial boss and his wife. “Ashley (Spaeny) and Austin (Melton), both lower-level staff at a country club, become entangled in the unraveling marriage of their general manager, Josh (Isaac), and his wife, Lindsay (Mulligan),” reads the season description, per Netflix Tudum. “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, Dr. Kim (Song Kang-ho).” Sounds juicy!

So you don’t miss one meaty moment of the Emmy-winning anthology series, here’s everything you need to know about upcoming installments of Beef season 2, including release schedules, runtimes, episode titles and more.
