‘Beef’ Season 2 Pits Gen Z and Millennials Against Each Other
The new season follows a Gen Z couple and a Millennial couple as their relationships collide, with Netflix expanding the dark comedy’s focus on generational conflict.
- Creator Lee Sung Jin said Season 2 of Netflix's 'Beef' was inspired by an overheard domestic argument between a couple, which he used to explore intergenerational conflict and the wealth gap.
- Younger peers perceived the argument as potential domestic violence, Lee noted, while older ones viewed it as routine conflict. "Those contrasting perspectives helped shape the new season," Lee said.
- The series stars Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny as a Gen Z couple entangled with their boss, a Millennial played by Oscar Isaac, and his wife, played by Carey Mulligan.
- Their worlds collide after a volatile altercation at the country club managed by Isaac's character, setting off manipulation and rivalry. "You feel like you're inside the characters' minds," Melton said.
- Following the first season's three Golden Globe Awards, 'Beef' continues examining relationship complexity. "There's a show there about juxtaposing the different stages of love against each other," Lee said.
