Netflix’s new show Beef’s cast is led by Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, who play the main characters in the chaotic dramedy. Created by Lee Sung Jin, the 2023 Netflix original series is produced by A24, the hit indie studio known for its original and excellent programming. While most of A24’s success has come with Oscar-winning movies like Everything Everywhere All At Once and Moonlight, it is also behind award-winning shows like Euphoria and Ramy. The studio has now partnered with Netflix to make a revenge comedic drama that puts Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, who both have histories with A24, in the spotlight.
The story of Beef revolves around two individuals played by Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as they become engaged in a twisted feud that begins from a road rage incident. The Netflix A24 show constantly ups the ante as the main Beef characters find new ways to try and torment the other instead of attempting to resolve their problems in a different fashion. The result is a story that continues to bring more personalities into the mix as they get caught in the crosshair of Daniel and Amy’s fight. Thankfully, this means an ever-evolving Beef cast and characters that help propel the story forward.
