Steven Yeun faces off against Ali Wong in the trailer for Netflix and A24's Beef
Road rage takes center stage in the upcoming dark comedy series starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong
After Steven Yeun and Ali Wong both provided voices for the animated series Tuca & Bertie, the two actors will now be seen sharing the screen. However, instead of playing one of TV’s most wholesome and supportive couples, they’ll be at each others’ throats after a road rage incident gets out of hand.
Produced by A24 for Netflix, the 10-episode series delves into the characters’ own personal resentments that boil over and become directed at each other. In the new trailer, the tension grows until Wong’s character Amy is seen brandishing a pistol at her phone in what’s sure to be a much-memed moment, though per a recent profile of Wong in The Hollywood Reporter, the gun also gets put to a much different use. Meanwhile, Yeun’s character Danny, a contractor struggling to find work, seems to have a disturbing fixation on fire.
“I have a very full life that I’d love to get back to,” Amy tells Danny. “I’m gonna find you and take what little you have.”
