Beef is a dark comedy drama anthology series that follows characters involved in escalating feuds. While the first season starred Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, the second season will include an all-new set of actors. So, when can you anticipate the arrival of the release date for Beef Season 2 on Netflix?

The Beef Season 2 release date is April 16, 2026 on Netflix. There will be about three years between the two seasons' release dates, with the first season having debuted on April 4, 2023. Beef Season 2 will be comprised of eight thirty-minute episodes, all of which will be released simultaneously on April 16, 2026. There are, of course, many upcoming TV and streaming show release dates for you to keep in mind. Currently, an official trailer for Beef Season 2 is not available.

The second season of Beef will feature a cast led by Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny. In this season, a young couple witnesses a fight between their boss and their boss's wife. This catalyzes an increasingly complicated game of chess at their local country club, dragging the club's Korean billionaire owner into the escalating mess. The second season will once again be guided by creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin. Meanwhile, Yeun and Wong will executive produce alongside Jake Schreier, Mulligan, Isaac, Melton and Spaeny.

The release date for Beef Season 2 on Neflix is April 16, 2026.
