Beef season 2 unveils first-look trailer as award-winning series returns with A-list Hollywood stars
This time two couples are going to war – with a fancy country club being the battleground.
Two married couples are going to war – and it's going to get messy as Beef returns to Netflix for season 2.
In another round of characters going to extreme lengths to come out the victor, a super-rich country club run by a Korean billionaire becomes a battleground as relationships are tested.
But who ends up on top when everyone is miserable?
After Steven Yeun and Ali Wong led the first season, season 2 has Carey Mulligan and Oscar Isaac leading an all-star cast as an unhappily married couple whose relationship is hanging on by a thread.
In Netflix's new trailer for the season, Joshua Martín (Isaac) and Lindsay Crane-Martín (Mulligan) may look perfect to those who don't know them, but neither is where – or who – they want to be in life.

Meanwhile at the country club Joshua manages, Lindsay vents her frustrations to the newly engaged Ashley Miller (Cailee Spaeny), admitting she believes she married the wrong person.
But her bonding moment is ruined when, one evening, Ashley and her fiancé Austin Davis (Charles Melton) – both low-level staff members at the club – witness a vicious altercation between Lindsay and Joshua.
Knowing they've been seen, Lindsay and Joshua pull Ashley and Austin into the orbit of their rapidly collapsing marriage, and soon both sides are dealing in favours and coercion as tensions fray.
So when the country club's owner Chairwoman Park (Youn Yuh-jung), who is trying to handle her own marriage scandal to second husband Doctor Kim (Song Kang-ho), makes an appearance, both couples are soon trying to win her over.
The new trailer for Beef season 2 shows the intense atmosphere between the couples as all their lives begin to spiral among the rich and powerful they work for.
But who will come out on top?
Beef season 2 launches on Thursday 16 April on Netflix – sign up from £5.99 a month.
