The cast for season two of Beef has been announced, with Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, and Cailee Spaeny all onboard.

Lee Sung Jin’s returns as creator, showrunner, and executive producer for the Netflix anthology series which will consist of eight 30-minute episodes.

Season one saw two strangers’ lives converge during a road rage incident between failing contractor Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) and self-made entrepreneur Amy Lau (Ali Wong).

This time around, according to a synopsis for season two: “A young couple witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering chess moves and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner.”

The news has got fans very excited with one writing in the comments section of the announcement: “Excellent cast and a great storyline for the next season.”

“This cast is going to bring some serious heat to season 2 of BEEF,” another added, while a third said: “This lineup is unreal! Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan in the same series? I’m already hooked!”

The announcement comes after it was reported earlier this year that Isaac and Mulligan could be teaming up in the series.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and Spaeny were also rumoured after it was announced that a second season might be on the cards but so far only the latter has come to fruition.

It marks another reunion for Isaac and Mulligan after they starred alongside Ryan Gosling and Bryan Cranston in the 2011 action thriller film Drive, as well as the 2013 biopic, Inside Llewyn Davis.

The reunion comes after a busy year for Mulligan, who played the eccentric friend of Rosamund Pike’s character in Saltburn, earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal as Felicia Montealegre, wife of Leonard Bernstein, in Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, and starred opposite Adam Sandler in the Netflix sci-fi movie Spaceman.

Isaac, whose past projects include Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, the Star Wars sequel trilogy and playing the eponymous role in Inside Llewyn Davis, is currently shooting Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, in which he plays Doctor Frankenstein.
