    Everything You Need to Know About BEEF

    The dark comedy stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong. 

    April 15, 2024

Word on the street is that you'll want to steer clear when Steven Yeun and Ali Wong are behind the wheel in BEEF.

From A24 Studios, the upcoming dark comedy series starring Yeun and Wong follows two strangers whose lives converge during a road rage incident. Danny Cho (Yeun) is a failing contractor with a chip on his shoulder, while Amy Lau (Wong) is a self-made entrepreneur with a picturesque life. Throughout the 10-episode series, their feud consumes them as their lives and relationships become intertwined in more ways than one.

Can I see some first look photos?

As these first look photos show, both characters come from polar-opposite worlds. Amy is surrounded by her beige walls, eclectic vases and a hot husband. Danny, on the other hand, comes from humble beginnings and can’t seem to catch a break.

How do Danny and Amy meet?

If you weren’t able to catch the BEEF premiere at SXSW in March, don’t worry. In this extended first look clip, Danny and Amy’s bad days are about to get even worse as they take their beef to the streets. “Ali Wong, Steven Yeun, A24, and Netflix. It’s a dream team, and I’m honored to be collaborating with them,” Lee Sung Jin told Netflix. “I’m also grateful to the guy who yelled at me in traffic three years ago. I did not let it go, and now we have a show.”
