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.
