The rights to Beef, a ten-episode half-hour dramedy from A24; has gone to Netflix.
Beef stars Oscar-nominated Steven Yeun and marks his first episodic television series since The Walking Dead. Ali Wong will join Yeun in this streaming service series by Lee Sung Jin. Beef is about two people slowly consumed by a shared road rage incident.
Both Wong and Yeun will serve as executive producers – through Yeun’s Universal Remote banner.
In regards to working with Wong and Yeun, Lee expressed:
“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.”
Jinny Howe, the VP of Drama Development for Original Series at Netflix; stated:
“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. [Lee] 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.”
