Netflix's critically acclaimed comedy-drama 'Beef' took the world by storm with its first season, earning eight Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes. Fans are eagerly awaiting news about Season 2, especially after its confirmation as an anthology series. Here's everything we know so far about 'Beef' Season 2, including release date speculation, cast updates and plot details. Beef Season 2 Release Date Speculation
As of May 30, 2025, Netflix has not officially announced a release date for 'Beef' Season 2. However, production began in January 2025, as confirmed by star Carey Mulligan in a Variety interview. Based on the timeline of Season 1, which started filming in April 2022 and premiered in April 2023, a similar one-year production cycle could see Season 2 arriving in late 2025 or early 2026. Speculation points to a potential premiere between December 2025 and spring 2026, depending on post-production and Netflix's scheduling. Expected Cast of Beef Season 2
'Beef' Season 2 will feature an entirely new ensemble, as the series shifts to an anthology format. Here's the expected lineup: Oscar Isaac : Known for 'Dune' and 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' expected to play one half of a feuding couple.
Carey Mulligan : The 'Promising Young Woman' and 'Maestro' star, likely paired with Isaac in the central conflict.
Charles Melton : Fresh off 'May December,' anticipated to portray one of the younger couple alongside Spaeny.
Cailee Spaeny : Recognized for 'Priscilla' and 'Alien: Romulus,' part of the young couple dynamic.
Youn Yuh-jung : The Academy Award-winning 'Minari' and 'Pachinko' actress, set to play the Korean billionaire country club owner.
Song Kang-ho : The 'Parasite' star, joining in a guest capacity, adding depth to the elite setting.
Seoyeon Jang : Known for 'Butterfly,' part of the supporting cast.
William Fichtner : Recognized from 'Prison Break,' bringing additional intrigue.
Mikaela Hoover: Seen in 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,' rounding out the ensemble. Beef Season 2 Potential Plot Details
Unlike Season 1, which followed the escalating road rage feud between Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong), Season 2 introduces a fresh story. According to Netflix's official logline, the plot centers on 'a young couple who witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering chess moves of favors and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner.' This shift explores themes of power, status, and conflict in a high-society setting, promising the same mix of dark comedy, drama, and suspense that made Season 1 a hit. Creator Lee Sung Jin has hinted at boundary-pushing narratives, with the anthology format allowing new character dynamics and rivalries to unfold.

Pair who worked magic on ‘Stranger Things' house flipped this GA gem for sale
A Victorian home for sale in Savannah, Georgia, is brimming with Southern charm after a restoration done by a pair of well-known house flippers. The 3,777-square-foot home — listed for $2.49 million — took two years to renovate, a feat that was done by Shane Fatland and Bryan Schreier, a pair who famously restored the Creel house in Rome, Georgia, a house featured in season 4 of the hit Netflix series 'Stranger Things.' 'The renovation, completed over two years, involved extensive work on the exterior, including rebuilding porches and windows, and interior details like door and window casings,' a news release on the home says. The duo managed to capture the original roots of the five-bedroom, five-bathroom house, which was built in 1920, while updating the residence with modern sleekness. 'The home is bathed w/natural light through floor-to-ceiling oversized windows & historic doors. Elegant hardwood floors throughout. Details & surprises include custom built-ins & a wet bar,' the listing on Compass says. 'The chef's kitchen is truly a culinary enthusiast's dream: premium countertops an expansive 12-foot island over looking a private & secluded, lushly landscaped outdoor oasis features soaring palm trees, an in-ground saltwater pool & fire pit area.' Other details include a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest apartment that sits above a workshop. There's also a private pool and attic space that was converted to another room. Fatland and Schreier 'left their home in Rome, Georgia, where, although their house was impressive, it gained notoriety after being featured on a television show, which made it difficult for them to live there,' the release says. The listing is held by Liza DiMarco of Compass Georgia.

Victoria Beckham and Daughter-in-Law Nicola Peltz's Drama: A Timeline of Their Relationship
Victoria Beckham's relationship with daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz Beckham has been under a microscope ever since the actress married Brooklyn Peltz Beckham in 2022. Brooklyn proposed to Nicola in July 2020, and they got married two years later. Speculation soon swirled around his mother and wife's relationship after news broke that Nicola wore a Valentino gown — instead of one designed by Victoria's eponymous brand. 'I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, [Victoria] realized that her atelier couldn't do it, so then I had to pick another dress,' Nicola told Variety in August 2022, denying rumblings of a feud. 'She didn't say you can't wear it; I didn't say I didn't want to wear it.' Nicola attempted to further shut down rumors of drama when she and Brooklyn attended Victoria's fashion shows in 2023 and 2024. The next year, the Peltz Beckhams were notably absent from his dad David Beckham's 50th birthday party. (David and Victoria were joined by youngest children Romeo, Cruz and Harper, in addition to other friends and relatives.) Everything Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz Have Said About Each Other and Their Relationship: My 'Role Model' "Things never really got smoothed over, and you can tell it still affects everyone,' a source exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2025. 'The tension is still present and it's hard for Brooklyn at times. Brooklyn's having a tough time with it. He's super stubborn and just wants space from his family right now.' Keep scrolling for a timeline of Victoria and Nicola's in-law relationship through the years: Victoria was one of the first people to celebrate Brooklyn's engagement. 'The MOST exciting news!! We could not be happier that @brooklynbeckham and @nicolaannepeltz are getting married!' Victoria wrote via Instagram. 'Wishing you so much love and a lifetime of happiness 🙏🏻. We all love you both so much.' In response, Nicola gushed in the comments, 'I love you so so much, Victoria. I'm the luckiest girl.' Months later, Victoria said on the U.K.'s Lorraine that Nicola was a 'wonderful' addition to their family. 'She's sweet, she's kind, she's such a lovely, warm, wonderful, wonderful woman,' Victoria said in December. 'We couldn't have asked for Brooklyn to meet a more adorable, lovely lady. We are very happy. We love her. He's so happy.' Nicola walked down the aisle in a Valentino Haute Couture gown, which raised eyebrows since Victoria is a celebrated designer in her own right. 'They're always going to try and put people down,' Brooklyn told Variety in August, also shutting down the feud rumors. 'But everyone gets along, which is good.' The next month, Victoria teased Brooklyn and Nicola's 'emotional' wedding day. 'The day wasn't about me, it was about Brooklyn and Nicola. So I wanted to look appropriate, and really to be comfortable and to feel like myself,' the former Spice Girl told Grazia. 'It's a big deal, your child getting married. I was very emotional. David's speech was beautiful.' Victoria also praised Nicola's vision in picking out a bridesmaid dress for Harper, which she called 'angelic.' Nicola joined the rest of the family at Victoria's fashion show before telling Grazia in a separate interview that she initially wanted to wear a dress made by her mother-in-law to the wedding. 'I was truly so excited to be able to wear a design that my future mother-in-law created. I thought that was so beautiful and such a beautiful story,' she said. 'I thought, 'Oh, this is going to be so fun. One of my best friends and my mom.' We connected to start designing the dress, and then a few days went by and I didn't hear anything. Victoria called my mom and said her atelier couldn't make it. So, I spoke to my mom and Leslie [Fremar, my stylist], and I was like, 'Well, unfortunately, this can't happen, so what's the next step?' I've been a fan of Valentino and their couture for so long.' According to Nicola, the feud rumors did 'hurt [her] feelings.' 'I try not to let it, but it's just not the truth,' she said. 'It's just a bit of a bummer when you're like, 'Oh, people think that,' but it's just not true.' Seeing Nicola's pain is what upset Brooklyn the most. 'To be honest, my wife is obviously my first priority and I never want to see her upset ever,' he told the outlet. 'When people do say ridiculous things, we just talk about it and we just move on. We have each other's back 100 percent and we just move on together.' The next year, Nicola stressed to Cosmopolitan that there was 'no feud' between herself and Victoria. 'It's really weird, actually, whether it's my life or someone else's life or whatever, when you know the truth and then you read something totally wrong,' Nicola added. That October, she and Brooklyn joined the family at the Netflix premiere of David's eponymous docuseries. Victoria and Cruz stepped out at the premiere of Nicola's directorial debut, Lola. Brooklyn and Nicola missed David's two birthday parties in April and May. A source later told Us that Brooklyn requested a separate celebratory meet-up, which was turned down. 'David and Victoria are over it,' the insider exclusively told Us. 'They've thrown in the towel over the whole thing. David and Victoria just want to treat everyone the same and approach life like a family and the family does things a certain way, but Brooklyn isn't playing it like that, and everything is a drama.' A second source, meanwhile, told Us that Nicola's lingering drama with Victoria was at the center of the tension. 'Things never really got smoothed over, and you can tell it still affects everyone,' the second source added. 'The tension is still present and it's hard for Brooklyn at times. Brooklyn's having a tough time with it. He's super stubborn and just wants space from his family right now.' Per the second insider, Brooklyn is 'completely' standing by Nicola. 'Brooklyn will always be on Nicola's side, and that's made things even more tense between him and his parents,' the source noted.

Everything To Know About ‘Stranger Thing' Season 5: Trailer, Release Date & More
STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, Millie ... More Bobby Brown as Eleven, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, and Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler in STRANGER THINGS. It's been three years since new Stranger Things episodes aired – and fans are counting down the days until the highly-anticipated final season. Here's everything to know (so far) about Stranger Things Season 5, including the exciting news that could be announced tonight during Netflix's TUDUM 2025. Filming for the final season of Stranger Things began in January 2024 and wrapped 11 months later in December. In an emotional Instagram post, co-creator Ross Duffer reflected on what it's been like to tell these stories for a decade and to watch the cast grow up around him. 'We've been telling this story for nearly a decade now. Many of our cast members joined us when they were kids, just ten or eleven years old. It wasn't just a show for them—it was a defining part of their childhood. They've grown up before our eyes, becoming more than actors—they've become family,' he said. The co-creator added that everyone involved in Season 5 'was determined to bring this story to a satisfying conclusion. They poured their hearts and souls into it, and we couldn't be more proud of what they've accomplished.' STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Finn Wolfhard as ... More Mike Wheeler, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, and Eduardo Franco as Argyle in STRANGER THINGS. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2022 Netflix has yet to announce an official release date for Stranger Things Season 5, though the streamer has confirmed it will debut sometime in 2025. There's a strong possibility Season 5 will be split into two parts, similar to Season 4. (Volume One was released on May 27, followed by Volume Two five weeks later on July 1.) This is a common release strategy Netflix often uses for its most-popular series, including The Witcher, Bridgerton, and Emily in Paris. More details about the release date could be revealed during Netflix's Tudum event on Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. (Don't worry – If you're not watching live, i'll be updating this story with the latest information as it comes in.) STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers and David Harbour as Jim Hopper in STRANGER ... More THINGS. Netflix confirmed via a cast photo that the main cast will return for Stranger Things Season 5, including Noah Schnapp, Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Cara Buono, Joe Keery, Amybeth McNulty, Charlie Heaton, Brett Gelman, Maya Hawke, Natalia Dyer, Jamie Campbell Bower, Priah Ferguson, Linda Hamilton, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, the Duffer Brothers (Ross and Matt), Finn Wolfhard, and Sadie Sink. New additions to the cast for the final run include Linda Hamilton, Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly and Alex Breaux. Hamilton will be playing a new role in Hawkins, though not much is known about her character yet. STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) David Harbour as Jim Hopper and Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven in STRANGER ... More THINGS. The plot for Stranger Things Season 5 remains tightly under wraps, but the next chapter will pick up after the explosive Season 4, Part 2 finale, where the Hawkins crew tried to take down Vecna for good. Max volunteered to serve as bait to lure Vecna in, while Eleven used a sensory deprivation tank to enter Max's mind and confront Vecna directly. After Vecna killed Max, triggering the opening of the fourth gate, Eleven used her powers to revive her, although Max remained in a coma. In one of the most heartbreaking moments from 'Chapter Nine: The Piggyback,' Eddie Munson sacrificed himself to distract the demobats and protect his friends. Though severely injured, Vecna managed to escape. In the final moments, Hawkins is left in ruins, with the barrier between the real world and the Upside Down rendered nonexistent. Matt and Ross Duffer told Deadline in 2023 that their goal for Season 5 is to 'stick the landing.' 'Characters are already going to be in action, they're already going to have a goal and a drive, and I think that's going to carve out at least a couple hours and make this season feel really different,' Matt explained. 'I'm sure the wrap-up will be a lot longer. It's going to be 'Return of the King'-ish with, like, eight endings. STRANGER THINGS. (L to R) Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers and David Harbour as Jim Hopper in STRANGER ... More THINGS. The first teaser trailer for Stranger Things Season 5 is expected to drop Saturday, May 31, 2025, during Netflix's TUDUM event. Stay tuned to learn more.
