Sometimes, being “happily” married is relative.

The new trailer for BEEF Season 2 finds its two central couples — millennials Josh (Oscar Isaac) and Lindsay (Carey Mulligan) and Gen Zers Ashley (Cailee Spaeny) and Austin (Charles Melton) — meditating on one of the biggest choices a person can make: picking the “right” life partner. These seemingly personal decisions can lead to explosive ramifications around the world, as evidenced in the video above.  

Two people sit in the front seats of a car at night, looking out the window with concerned expressions, illuminated by dim light and surrounded by darkness outside.
A man holding a golf club and a woman stand close together looking alarmed inside a dimly lit kitchen, viewed through a window with a crisscross frame.

From A24 and BEEF creator and showrunner Lee Sung Jin, the critically acclaimed, award-winning anthology series returns for its second go-round on April 16. Kicking off within the gilded cage of Ojai, California, Season 2 explores the trials of love across life stages and the mounting pressures marriage can create.

“Each generation starts off thinking that they’ll never become what they see in the older generation,” says Lee. “But with the passage of time and the pressures of capitalism, each generation soon discovers why the older generations are the way they are.”

In the trailer for BEEF Season 2, we see low-level country club staffers Austin and Ashley, young and, perhaps naively, in love. Melton considers the newly engaged couple to be in the “honeymoon phase of a relationship” as they work together at Monte Vista Point. Adds Lee, “They think all they need is each other.”

A man sitting indoors on a floral chair by a window, hands clasped near his face, looking at someone off-frame. A desk with a laptop and large book or binder is in front of him, and trees are visible outside.
Woman with short blond hair wearing a patterned jacket stands outdoors in front of a blurred background of autumn trees, holding a face mask in her hand and looking thoughtfully into the distance.

But when Austin and Ashley happen to witness an alarming fight between their boss, Josh, and his wife, Lindsay, the young lovers’ foundation is tested for the first time. Seeing an older couple whose romance has turned sour is like seeing “the Ghosts of Christmas Future,” says Spaeny.

Isaac recalls that he and Mulligan spent a long time considering their characters’ history. “What were they like when they were Austin and Ashley, in that phase of their life [in which] the possibilities were endless?”

Three people standing indoors; a man in a green polo shirt holding a round yellow pillow, flanked by a man in black and a smiling woman in a white dress; ornate wall and lighting in the background.

Considering the shocking inciting incident then, it’s surprising to find Ashley and Lindsay sharing a poignant moment confiding in one another in the trailer. But unexpected alliances arise quickly in the back-stabbing world of BEEF

Sitting curbside in the dead of night, Ashley asks Lindsay if she is happy in her marriage. Ashley is attempting to parse through what life with her fiancé could look like, while Lindsay has the clarity that can only come with hindsight. Lindsay tells Ashley that she carries an “immense pain” knowing she picked the wrong person as her life partner decades earlier. “How did I not realize this sooner?” Lindsay despondently asks Ashley — and, perhaps, the memory of her younger self too. 

A young man and woman stand close together outdoors at night, both wearing green collared shirts, sharing an intimate moment and looking at each other’s hands, with blurred background arches suggesting a quiet, possibly romantic setting.

“The essence of [Josh and Lindsay’s] young love is faintly in the background, and they keep trying to grasp for it,” says Mulligan. “But their relationship has grown pretty contentious.”

The two couples aren’t the only characters involved in this season’s BEEF though. In the trailer, we get a closer look at Monte Vista Point’s new owner, Chairwoman Park (Youn Yuh-jung), a Silent Generation billionaire who’s navigating the struggles of her own marriage to her boomer second husband, Doctor Kim (Song Kang-ho). 

Older woman holding a phone stands in a garden near a pool, partially hidden behind palm trees, looking surprised or cautious. Lush greenery and tall trees in the background.
Man holding golf club on green golf course near water, with modern city skyscrapers and residential buildings in background on a cloudy day.
Two people sit apart on a modern white sofa in a spacious, stylish living room with large windows overlooking the ocean, while three others stand in the background both inside and outside near the sea.

Both of the central couples vie for the Chairwoman’s approval throughout the season. They also interact with folks across the Monte Vista Point ecosystem, from employees like tennis trainer Woosh (Matthew Kim, aka musician BM of KARD, in his acting debut) and the Chairwoman’s interpreter, Eunice (Seoyeon Jang), to wealthy club members, like boomer Troy (William Fichtner) and his millennial wife, Ava (Mikaela Hoover).

Two men sit facing each other in a dimly lit, cozy living room with modern decor, plush sofas, a round coffee table, fireplace, abstract art, lamps, and various decorative items, engaged in conversation.
Three women in elegant floral dresses sit on a patterned sofa in a well-lit, stylish living room with large windows and decorative wallpaper, creating a sophisticated, relaxed atmosphere.
A woman in tennis attire holds a racket while a man stands beside her with tennis balls on an outdoor tennis court, next to a basket of tennis balls, green steps and white walls in the background.

By the end of the trailer, we’re left to wonder along with Ashley: Are you actually supposed to be looking for the right wrong person to spend your life with? Can there ever really be a right person? And just how much can you lose if you don’t answer these questions correctly? 

Decide for yourself when BEEF Season 2 premieres April 16, only on Netflix.
