AceShowbiz - Beef’s upcoming season on Netflix arrives with music crafted through an extraordinary creative process by Finneas O'Connell. The musician revealed he “spent the last 12 months in BEEF land,” meticulously scoring the show. He shared that he "probably watched every scene 100 times" while composing the soundtrack, absorbing the emotions of each moment repeatedly throughout the year.
The level of dedication Finneas brought to scoring the series mirrors the care he puts into his work with his sister, Billie Eilish, and his solo projects. This commitment suggests the show's music will resonate deeply with viewers when the season premieres on April 16.
Showrunner Lee Sung Jin praised Finneas as "the brilliant mind behind most of the music that has soundtracked my personal life over the last decade," calling it "an absolute honor to collaborate with him." He highlighted Finneas’s talent for transforming the darkest emotions into something “achingly beautiful,” expressing eagerness for audiences to experience the new score.
The anthology series Beef first gained acclaim in 2023, focusing on a conflict between characters portrayed by Ali Wong and Steven Yeun, earning eight Emmy Awards. The new season shifts its focus to a Gen Z couple, played by Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton, who are newly engaged and work together at a country club.
This couple becomes involved in the fallout from a confrontation between the country club's general manager, played by Oscar Isaac, and his wife, portrayed by Carey Mulligan. As tensions rise, both couples strive to gain favor with the club's billionaire owner, Chairwoman Park, played by Youn Yuh-jung. Chairwoman Park is herself entangled in a deteriorating marriage with her second husband, played by Song Kang-ho.
As the storyline unfolds, Finneas’s carefully crafted score is expected to deepen the emotional impact of the series’ intense and complex themes, setting the tone for what promises to be a compelling new chapter in Beef.
