- Netflix's latest comedy series "Beef" is about road-rage revenge and stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun.
- The two stars explain the premise of their show on YouTube, set to release today, April 6.
Slated to be released today, Netflix's latest A24 comedy series "Beef" stars Ali Wong and Steven Yeun. Set in Los Angeles, the show is about extreme pettiness.
Best known for her Netflix stand-up specials "Baby Cobra" and "Hard Knock Wife," Wong collaborates with "Minari" and "The Walking Dead" star Yeun in this road rage altercation-turned-extensive petty revenge story. The show was created by Lee Sung-jin, known for "Undone" and "Dave."
The two actors break down the show to its core ideas in a speedy interview with Netflix.
"Ali plays Amy, I play Danny, and we get into a road rage incident, and then we spiral and try to destroy each other's lives, revealing our own lives to the audience, and which we have to face ourselves, and we take it to the end," describes Yeun in one breath.
In a bonus round of speed interview, Yeun also includes Burger King and '90s alternative rock as descriptors of the series.
The early episodes of the show are to include '90s soundtracks like Hoobastank's "The Reason" and The Smashing Pumpkin's "Today," according to TimeOut.
The show features an almost all-Asian cast according to Netflix's official cast guide, and has already received several positive reviews from critics.
The first season of the series will contain 10 roughly 30-minute episodes, and premieres today on Netflix.
