After three long years, the return of Beef for season 2 finally gives fans something to sink their teeth into. And this time, the season, which will focus on a new couple played by Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan, appears just as messy as the first season. The trailer gives a glimpse of the couple’s bitter relationship.

The actors, who play toxic spouses in the show, did not seem to have many pleasant moments together on screen. Looking back at the performance, both recently opened up their experience.

Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan recently spoke about their characters during a conversation with Variety. When asked about the mean words they had to say to each other on screen, Mulligan went on to praise the writers for their brilliance in writing the perfect lines for each character. However, when asked about how they handle the toxicity at the end of filming, Isaac had an amusing response.

“Just drink a lot, edibles, all sorts of edibles,” Issac joked about it. 

“Take a hit of bufo and just chill out.” Mulligan said. “There is a catharsis to smashing up a trophy cabinet. I will say I didn’t mind it.”

The curiosity among fans to know about their experience filming some of the show’s most intense scenes is understandable. In the opening scene of the latest trailer, Mulligan’s character, Lindsay, admits they may have chosen the wrong person in life. In another scene, Isaac’s character, Josh, is on the verge of hurling a golf club at her. And that is until they both realise they are being watched by Ashley ( Cailee Spaeny) and Austin (Charles Melton).

Now, much like Mulligan pointed out, the writing and the performance were incredible, but it was not an easy feat.

Beef creator Lee Sung Jin explained how the second season of the show felt more work because of the success of the first season. He added how they kept making last-minute changes to make the show as perfect as possible. He even joked that without deadlines, he might never stop tweaking it.

That explains the three-year wait since the first season aired in April, 2023. Fortunately, the second season, which will run for 8 episodes, is finally here. It is set to premiere on Netflix on April 16,
