Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal will star in a Broadway production of “Othello” next year, setting up what is sure to be one of the hottest tickets of the 2024-2025 theater season.

Kenny Leon, who won a Tony Award in 2014 for directing a revival of “A Raisin in the Sun” that starred Washington, will direct the production — the 22nd Broadway staging of “Othello” since 1751, according to the Internet Broadway Database. Leon also directed Washington’s Tony-winning performance in a 2010 production of “Fences.”

Washington, an enormously successful film actor with two Academy Awards, for “Glory” and “Training Day,” has starred in five previous Broadway plays, most recently a 2018 revival of “The Iceman Cometh.”

Beef is getting ready to come back for a second season, and Deadline reports that Lee Sung Jin, the creator of the series, is already assembling the cast of the next story. Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny are being eyed to portray a couple of new characters, as they get ready to start a rivalry with another couple in the upcoming episodes of the successful Netflix comedy. On the other hand, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway are also being circled to star in the second season of Beef, raising the stakes for the return of Jin’s acclaimed show, although the premise of the series will look different.

The second season of Beef will move away from what was seen in the first season, opting for following two couples as they initiate a feud between each other. Filming for the new episodes will begin later this year, with Netflix and A24 getting ready to produce another season of their successful collaboration.
