The first images from Lee Sung Jin’s dark comedy BEEF see Steven Yeun and Ali Wong squaring off after their worlds collide in a road rage incident.
The worlds of Steven Yeun and Ali Wong collide in the first images for A24's new dark comedy series BEEF. Announced back in 2021, the series is created and showrun by Lee Sung Jin and follows two total strangers whose lives become intertwined after a road rage incident pits them against each other. As their feud continuously grows and branches out, it threatens to unravel the very fabric of their lives and relationships.
In the series, Yeun plays Danny Cho, a failing contractor with a chip on his shoulder while Wong plays self-made entrepreneur Amy Lau whose picturesque life is threatened by her beef with Cho. Their lives couldn't be more different as Cho continues to struggle while Lau enjoys the finer things in life. Whatever is happening in Cho's world is apparently enough to keep him awake at night as shown in one of the images.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The combo of Yeun and Wong is a strong one for Netflix which has an established relationship with both. Yeun previously starred in Okja, Bong Joon-ho's action-adventure flick which the streamer picked up, as well as 3Below: Tales of Arcadia. Outside the Netflix fold, he's exploded though, leading Prime Video's Invincible and Minari as well as starring in Jordan Peele's Nope.
BEEF Is Based on Lee Sung Jin's Personal Experience BEEF is also a bit of a personal story for Jin. The creator, who cut his teeth with credits on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dave, and Silicon Valley, told Netflix that he owes the idea of the series to an angry driver he had to face down in traffic years ago. "Ali Wong, Steven Yeun, A24, and Netflix. It’s a dream team, and I’m honored to be collaborating with them," he said in an official statement.
