“What is your problem?” That’s the sound of Ali Wong and Steven Yeun driving onto to Netflix this April, as a new trailer gives us a first look at Beef.

The A24 series is created by Lee Sung Jin (Dave, Tuca & Bertie) and follows two people who let a road rage incident burrow into their minds and slowly consume their every thought and action. Danny Cho (Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong) are two strangers in Los Angeles – Danny is a blue-collar worker struggling to find his footing, while Amy is a self-made woman with a picturesque family – but a car honk between the pair turns into a high-speed chase, as their feud spirals into an obsession that takes over the lives of their loved ones. 

You can the resulting collision when the 10-part series premieres on 6th April. Here’s the trailer:

 

Steven Yeun, Ali Wong to star in Netflix’s Beef

25th March 2021

Steven Yeun and Ali Wong will star in Beef, a new series in the works at Netflix.

The A24 series is created by Lee Sung Jin (Dave, Tuca & Bertie) and produced by Minari and The Walking Dead star Yeun through his company Universal Remote.

Beef follows two people who let a road rage incident burrow into their minds and slowly consume their every thought and action. Yeun and Wong (Always Be My Maybe, Tuca & Bertie) will both exec-produce as well as star.

Lee Sung Jin will serve as the showrunner on the 10-episode, half-hour comedy-drama.

Jinny Howe, VP, Drama Development, Original Series at Netflix, says: “We are incredibly excited to collaborate with Lee Sung Jin and help bring this rich series to life along with the inimitable Steven Yeun and Ali Wong. Sung Jin has created a bold and at times outrageous world. It is an honest and powerful character study of two people who go about searching for connection in the unlikeliest of ways.”

Lee Sung Jin adds: “Ali Wong, Steven Yeun, A24 and Netflix. It’s a dream team, and I’m honored to be collaborating with them. I’m also grateful to the guy who yelled at me in traffic three years ago. I did not let it go, and now we have a show.”
