Beef Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on May 30, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated May 30, 2025, 11:22 IST 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.

Quality over quantity: Thunderbolts kicks some serious ass-terisk!
In a world without the Avengers, Marvel's most dysfunctional team assembles in Thunderbolts*. But can this ragtag group save both themselves and the MCU? With this emotionally grounded, chemistry driven effort, chances are good. It's kind of ironic that Thunderbolts* has an asterisk in its title. Much has been made about the inclusion of this mysterious bit of punctuation — which, though clarified now, won't be spoiled here — and yet this feels like the first Marvel Cinematic Universe release in a while that shouldn't have it. Even if you haven't been one to declare the franchise dead like some doomsayers, as of late if you described a Marvel Comics Universe (MCU) production as entertaining*, that little star indicated a footnote caveat about '*painfully rushed CGI', '*jarringly obvious reshoots', '*terrible miscasting', or some or other such clumsy misstep that brought down the overall experience. With Thunderbolts* though, there's no footnote needed. It's just really good. I would be remiss not to mention that this is the first MCU big screen effort fully developed and produced since the Disney Powers-That-Be pivoted away from the previous regime's franchise maximising strategy to a much-appreciated 'quality over quantity' approach, and it shows. A lot of that success comes from the team Marvel boss Kevin Feige has assembled here. Behind the camera, there's a surprising amount of critically acclaimed indie talent (so irreverently poked fun at in the film's own trailers) in the form of director Jake Schreier (Beef, Paper Towns), co-writer Joanna Calo (Beef, The Bear), and cinematographer Andrew Droz Palermo (The Green Knight, A Ghost Story), with the only big budget comic book experience coming from co-writer Eric Pearson (Thor: Ragnarok, Black Widow). On screen, we have a ragtag group of B- and C-listers that, for the most part, were the leftovers of other bigger titles: Black Widow's little sister Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), the short-lived Captain America replacement John Walker (Wyatt Russell), Ant-Man and the Wasp villain Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen), Black Widow antagonist Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko), Yelena's over-the-hill surrogate father Red Guardian (David Harbour), and ex-Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan). The result is a film that most starkly reminds of the first Guardians of the Galaxy, as we get a dysfunctional 'team' of relatively unknown and scrappy underdogs, thrust into a name-making story filled with far more emotional gravitas than all the funny hijinks would have you believe. And it all kicks off when Yelena, Walker, Ghost, and Taskmaster — all of whom had been quietly performing various black ops missions for shady CIA string-puller Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) — find themselves thrown together in a mysterious vault with conflicting orders that put them at each other's respective throats. Interrupting the ensuing melee, though, is the appearance of Bob (Lewis Pullman), the mild-mannered but troubled young man who seemingly appears out of nowhere and who has no idea how he got there. Forced to work together (with much hilarious bickering) to get themselves and Bob out of a deadly trap, the group uncover a threat that pulls in both Bucky and Red Guardian as well. And with the Avengers no longer around, who else is there to step into the breach when this threat turns into a mass-murdering nightmare? That's if they can actually agree on anything, including what the name of their team should be! If that sounds like an uproariously fun odd couple comic book adventure, it's because it is. Wyatt Russell's dickish John Walker and David Harbour's cringe-dad Red Guardian bring the biggest laughs, but the entire cast shows off strong comic timing, bolstered by chemistry just exploding off the screen. That is, when the charismatic witticisms aren't being upstaged by the actual explosions. Despite never having dabbled in the genre before, Schreier directs some fantastic action sequences. Yes, some of it goes for elaborate cool points instead of just simple efficacy. However, just like the recent Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts has taken a page from the franchise highlight Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The editing and cinematography are purposefully restrained here, allowing the physically gifted performers to showcase some spectacular but remarkably grounded action choreography. Well, as grounded as a skull-faced mercenary brandishing a shield and sword fighting a gun-toting incorporeal techno-thief can be. And even when events ramp up considerably in the film's back half, and the scariest baddie currently in the MCU starts tearing through the cityscape, Schreier and co never let you feel like you're just watching CGI rubber dolls slamming together on screen, or watching floating heads superimposed onto a digital landscape. It's all very tactile, very human. In fact, it's exactly because Thunderbolts* keeps that tangible humanity so firmly in focus that it's elevated beyond being just a fun two-hour diversion. Schreier and his writers understand that this is a group of very broken people whose wildly spinning moral compasses have resulted in their personal isolations. At one point, Yelena jokes that none of them can fly, but how could they when they're being weighed down so much by the bloodshed and tragedies of their pasts? How do you save the world when you can't even save yourself from the gnawing void in your core? How do you punch your way out of a depression? And it's here where the casting of Pugh shines. A dryly hilarious contrast to Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow, Pugh's take on Yelena has always been an acerbic delight. In every Marvel production she's shown up in, she's been a perennial scene-stealer. In Thunderbolts* though, you also get clearly reminded of why she's an Oscar-nominated dramatic actress with a mantlepiece filled with statues as she fully plumbs the depths of Yelena's emotions. It's some of the best character work the MCU has seen in a while. And she's not alone. By now, most of you reading this would have already known who Lewis Pullman's 'Bob' really is, as Marvel hasn't been all that tightfisted with this secret. Even so, Schreier and Pullman's take on this comic book character is fantastic, running the full gamut from heartbreaking to horrifying, with the actor nailing it all. The rest of the cast are not far behind at all when it comes to thespian chops, with special mention for Julia Louis-Dreyfuss turning Valentina into a person you just love to hate. It's that level of outstanding work to make you root for and want to spend more time with these characters, despite their cracks, that is truly the film's secret weapon. Thunderbolts* is so good at it that if nobody had told you any different, you would swear that this is the start of an exciting new phase in the MCU. Instead, Fantastic Four: First Steps is just around the corner, kicking off the arc that will lead to the phase-ending Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Whether that all climaxes in a widescale reboot of the MCU just like the comics is still up for debate, but whatever narrative direction Kevin Feige and his brain trust have decided on, it had better include the Thunderbolts*.

Renowned 1960s nasi padang spot at Kampong Glam opens new food court stall in the West
Sabar Menanti along North Bridge Road near Kampong Glam is a renowned nasi padang spot that first operated as an unknown street stall in the 1920s. It later transitioned into a dine-in eatery in the 1960s. Current owner, Iszahar, a 3rd-Gen who took over his mother's business in late 2022 has just opened a new food court stall over at Apex @ Henderson called Surya. Iszahar, an ex-shipping broker with 15 years in the industry, traded his sharp business suits and cologne for casual wear and the aroma of rendang after hours spent in the kitchen. 'Setting up Surya, which I named after my late sister, has always been on my mind,' he shared. He added, 'She meant a lot in our family and her legacy and spirit will continue to live on through Surya.' Iszahar wanted to ensure that Sabar Menanti was stable and running properly before proceeding to make Surya a dream come true. 'Coincidentally, my late sister was staying at Henderson and teaching at a school nearby. When there was an opportunity to open at Apex @ Henderson, I grabbed it!' He exclaimed. Another reason he opened Surya was to keep up with the times and veer away from old, traditional cooking methods his mother still practices to this day at Sabar Menanti. Iszahar partners with Rudy who also owns ASAP & Co, an award-winning Halal steakhouse at Far East Square. Muslim-owned Surya features the same signature dishes from Sabar Menanti, but at lower prices. Feast on their signatures like the Beef (S$5), (S$5), and (S$5). To promote healthier eating, Iszahar has future plans to offer more greens on the menu which will be rolled out in the upcoming months. You can also choose an array of chillies to add some heat to your plates of nasi padang like sambal balado and belacan. For the first plate, I chose Beef (S$5), Stingray (S$5), (S$1.70), and (S$1.70). The stingray was exceptionally tender and the tangy, spicy notes of the sauce was well balanced. It was my first time trying stingray prepared this way, and I highly recommend it! Though the beef rendang was rich in flavour and the spices were well-balanced, I found myself wishing the meat had been a touch more tender. We also tried their (S$5), (S$6), (S$1.70) and (S$1.70). If you're like me and have no idea what Ayam Kolio is, it turns out to be a dish similar to Thai red curry, infused with the warm, earthy notes of turmeric. It was creamy and reminded me of a more robust version of ayam kurma — 2 thumbs up! Seafood fans will love the tasty Sotong Sambal and I loved how textural the pucuk ubi (cassava leaves) was. Bukit Merah residents who find North Bridge Road a bit too out of the way can now enjoy Surya at the more convenient Chill Bar food court, located at Apex @ Henderson. Do note that Surya only opens from Mondays to Fridays (8am to 4pm). You're advised to drop by early to avoid disappointment. Happy feasting!

This Father's Day, give dad the gift of gourmet grilling with Snake River Farms
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Every year it happens. Father's Day rolls around, and somehow, dads across the country end up unwrapping the same recycled gifts — yet another tie, a novelty mug, a 'World's Best Dad' keychain. Cute? Sure. Memorable? Not in the slightest. Let's be honest: Dad doesn't want another trinket. He wants something that speaks his language. Think: grill marks, sizzling fat, perfectly marbled cuts of meat. This year, it's time we all give him something he actually wants: Snake River Farms. Advertisement Let's get one thing straight. Snake River Farms isn't your average meat delivery company; it's the gold standard. Consider it the top shelf, the kind of meat that chefs write love letters to. If your dad is the type who lives for Sunday grilling rituals, who has High-Level Opinions about sear marks and reverse searing and treats his smoker like a shrine, then this is the gift he deserves. And, Snake River Farms is making it absurdly easy to nail Father's Day this year. With a trio of expertly curated grilling boxes, they've taken the guesswork — and frankly, the mediocrity — out of gift-giving. This isn't just a steak in the mail. This is a statement: Dad, I see you. I appreciate your culinary genius. And here's $300 worth of American Wagyu to prove it. For a limited time, receive a free Grilling Pack including Smoked Beef Sausage and two Snake River Farms Ground Beef (1 pound) on orders of $225 or more with promo code GRILLTIME. Offer ends on May 22. Snake River Farms Let's talk about the boxes. First up: the Just a Taste Grilling Box. This is a *playground* of protein. You'll receive Wagyu burgers, Wagyu hot dogs, a flank steak, bacon and Gulf shrimp. It's like a backyard cookout and a seafood boil had a beautiful, delicious baby. This is the perfect 'starter pack' for the dad who loves variety, or who simply can't decide what he wants to grill first. Snake River Farms Then there's the SRF Bestsellers Box. Here, we have Kurobuta-frenched pork chops, American Wagyu ground beef, SRF Gold Filet Mignon (2 4-ounce pieces), American Wagyu hot dogs (1 pound) and a Snake River Farms Gold Ribeye Filet (6-ounce). It's a mixtape of greatest hits, and every track rocks. Snake River Farms But the crown jewel? The Griller's Pack. This is for the dad who has earned his stripes. Inside, you'll find two Gold ribeyes, two filet mignons, Wagyu hot dogs, Wagyu burger patties (you even have steak seasoning!) It's a box of decadence, the kind of meat that demands reverence — and a glass of bourbon on the side. Let's be honest, Father's Day has become something of a phoned-in holiday. It's a day where we all go through the motions and give dad a handshake and a half-hearted, 'Thanks for everything.' But, that's not what dads want. They want fire, smoke and something worth throwing on the grill. Essentially, they want Snake River Farms. It's not just about eating, either; it's about giving Dad a moment. That quiet backyard evening. A steak that cuts like butter. The smell of real charcoal. The satisfaction of nailing the cook on a $90 ribeye. These are the moments that matter, and this brand delivers your memories to your dad's doorstep. Plus, let's not ignore the presentation. These aren't sad, shrink-wrapped cuts flung into a Styrofoam cooler. These bundles are packed to impress. When dad opens that box, (1) he'll get excited and (2) he'll know he's holding something special. This Father's Day, say no to the cliches, and say yes to sizzling Wagyu, to thick-cut pork chops, to shrimp that snap with flavor. Say yes to Snake River Farms. Because Dad doesn't want a gift. He wants this. For over 200 years, the New York Post has been America's go-to source for bold news, engaging stories, in-depth reporting, and now, insightful shopping guidance.
