Netflix offers this synopsis of season two: “Beef returns with a new cast and a new ‘beef,’ as a Gen-Z couple witnesses an alarming fight between their Millennial boss and his wife. Newly engaged Ashley Miller and Austin Davis, both lower-level staff at a country club, become entangled in the unraveling marriage of their general manager, Joshua Martín, and his wife, Lindsay Crane-Martín.
Through favors and coercion, both couples vie for the approval of the elitist club’s billionaire owner, Chairwoman Park, who struggles to manage her own scandal involving her second husband, Doctor Kim.”
