Netflix has set April 16 for the Season 2 premiere of Beef. The streaming network confirmed in October that it was moving forward with a second season of the critically acclaimed anthology series, which will star Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny. Netflix revealed the date Wednesday as part of its 2026 slate announcement. As we previously reported, in Season 2, a young couple 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.
