Season 2 Features Different Cast, Storyline

While Yuen and Wong are not involved in the second season, Lee admitted “They checked in on me constantly. Ali visited set. Steven and Ali got popsicles and different food trucks for the crew.” 

Lee revealed that, like Season 1, much of the second season "was ripped from the headlines of my life," revealing it's based on events that happened to him.

“It was loosely based on a loud argument overheard from a neighbor’s home," he said. "The varying reactions from everyone who heard fascinated me. We changed the setting to a workplace because I wanted to explore the boss-employee dynamic more."

Beef season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
