Sources close to the production disclosed to Deadline that discussions are ongoing with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan to lead season 2 of ‘Beef.’ Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny have already been confirmed to join the cast, further enriching the anthology’s upcoming chapter.
While Netflix declined to comment on the negotiations involving Isaac and Mulligan, insiders familiar with the project revealed to Deadline that season 2 will delve into the dynamics of two feuding couples, promising a narrative filled with conflict and intrigue.
Initial reports from Deadline suggested that the roles currently under negotiation by Isaac and Mulligan were initially intended for Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, although those plans did not materialize.
