The show is about two strangers, played by Ali Wong<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Steven Yeun<\/strong><\/a>, who become obsessed with destroying each other after they’re involved in a road rage incident. The\u00a0Beef\u00a0<\/em>finale is jaw-dropping and fans are hoping this is only the beginning for the addictive series. Here’s all the updates on\u00a0Beef\u00a0<\/em>season 2.<\/p>\n Netflix has yet to renew\u00a0Beef\u00a0<\/em>for season 2. However, the show’s success is a good sign that there will be more seasons. Creator Lee Sung Jin\u00a0<\/strong>told\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>that he actually has “three seasons mapped out” in his head for Beef<\/em>. Regarding the dramatic finale, Lee said, “I wanted it to have a conclusive feel just in case, but there are a lot of ideas on my end to keep this story going. I think should we be blessed with a Season Two, there\u2019s a lot of ways for Danny and Amy to continue. I have one really big general idea that I can\u2019t really say yet.”<\/p>\n Lee revealed to\u00a0ELLE<\/em><\/a> that he originally pitched\u00a0Beef\u00a0<\/em>as a limited anthology, but he’d love to stick with the characters from the first season. “If given the opportunity, of course, I’d love to explore them further, because Danny and Amy, I love those characters,” he said. “But yeah, by design, though, this a close-ended narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n Beef\u00a0<\/em>being a limited\/anthology series is now the case, at least in terms of the Emmy Awards<\/a>. On April 11, Variety<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reported that Netflix submitted\u00a0Beef\u00a0<\/em>in the limited\/anthology series categories for the Emmys, instead of the comedy series categories, where it was expected to compete. That means it’s likely the show will return with all new characters and a completely different story. For the upcoming Emmys,\u00a0Beef<\/em> will compete against other limited\/anthology shows including Dahmer \u2013 Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Daisy Jones and the Six<\/em><\/a>, and\u00a0Fleishman Is In Trouble<\/em>.<\/p>\n On January 15, 2024, after sweeping eight Emmy Awards, Lee again addressed the possibility. \u201cI feel like there are so many paths,” he told reporters backstage at the show, per Variety.<\/em><\/a> “It could stay limited \u2014 it was a very close-ended story for sure. But if Netflix wanted to continue, it could also be anthology. It could be many things. It\u2019s up to the great algorithm. We\u2019re all waiting to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n The outlet also reported that they spoke to the show’s star Steven Yeun on the red carpet, who confessed he had “no clue” if the show would continue. \u201cI defer to Sonny [Lee] on all fronts,” he added.<\/p>\n Sadly, we may not see the\u00a0Beef\u00a0<\/em>season 1 cast again, if the show moves forwards as an anthology series. Ali Wong and Steven Yeun are the main stars of the first season. Ali plays Amy Lau, the business owner of a small plant store, who is married and has a daughter. Steven plays Danny Cho, a struggling contractor who lives with his brother, Paul. The season one cast also includes\u00a0Joseph Lee\u00a0<\/strong>as Amy’s husband George, Young Mazino<\/strong> as Danny’s brother Paul, David Choe<\/strong> as Danny’s cousin Isaac,\u00a0Patti Yasutake\u00a0<\/strong>as Amy’s mother-in-law Fumi, Remy Holt<\/strong> as Amy’s daughter June,\u00a0Ashley Park<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>as Amy’s neighbor Naomi, and Maria Bello<\/strong><\/a> as Amy’s boss Jordan.<\/p>\n Beef\u00a0<\/em>has a shocking, and satisfying, ending. Amy and Danny’s revenge tour on each other takes a dangerous turn, as Danny kidnaps Amy’s daughter. To protect her child, Amy offers to let Danny’s cousin Isaac rob her boss Jordan’s house. That leads to a home invasion and hostage crisis where Jordan is graphically killed when she gets stuck in the electric door to her safe room. George takes June home and gets emergency custody. Amy goes after Danny and they wind up stranded on a cliff together. They take poisonous elderberries and bond over their respective sad lives. They escape the cliffs but George arrives and shoots Danny. The show ends with Danny in the hospital on life support, with Amy by his side. Danny is able to move his arm in the final moment.<\/p>\n Creator Lee Sung Jin told\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0<\/em>he wanted\u00a0Beef\u00a0<\/em>season 1 to “have a conclusive” ending, in case the show was one and done. He also revealed that there was a version of the finale that was “much darker” than the final cut. “To everyone\u2019s credit, people walked me back. If you read the first outline, you\u2019d be appalled,” Lee said.
