Award-winning Netflix series Beef has dropped its first look trailer for its second series, as Carey Mulligan and Oscar Isaac take over the lead roles.

The anthology series, which first launched in 2023, saw two strangers get into a road rage incident that brought complete chaos into their lives.

The American comedy-drama series, created by Lee Sung Jin, starred Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as Danny Cho and Amy Lau, who were entangled in a prolonged feud.

The show proved hugely popular among fans and critics alike, winning all three of its nominated categories at the Golden Globe Awards following its release.

It was confirmed to be coming back for more in 2024, this time with new cast members, and Carey, 40, and Oscar, 47, were later announced as the leading stars.

Now, a first look trailer has given fans a taste of what they can expect from the series, which follows a ‘Gen Z couple who witness an alarming fight’ between their Millennial boss and his wife.

Newly-engaged couple Ashley Miller and Austin Davis are played by Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton, two lower-level staff at a country club, who become entangled in the marriage of their manager Joshua Martin, played by Oscar, and his wife Lindsay.

The series synopsis teases: ‘It triggers a chess moves of favours and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner.’

The trailer sees Carey’s Lindsay sitting down with Cailee’s Ashley and speaking openly about the breakdown of her marriage with Joshua.

Ashley can be heard asking: ‘Are you and Josh happily married?’ to which Lindsay replies: ‘I think deep down we both knew it was a temporary band-aid.’

The camera then flicks to Carey and Oscar’s characters having a blasting row, before she continues: ‘For the immense pain of knowing that you picked the wrong person.’

‘How did I not realise this sooner?’ she adds, as her character is seen looking lovingly towards a younger man, carrying a bag of her belongings behind her.

Ashley is then shown recording a fight between the married couple, as Joshua is seen raising a golf club as if to hit his wife with it.

‘Don’t people say that you should actually be looking for the right person, but actually the right, wrong person?’ Ashley then concludes.

The series is due to hit screens on Netflix on April 16.

Elsewhere, a ‘gut-punching’ crime drama about Pablo Escobar’s son is now streaming on Disney+ – and it makes the perfect alternative for fans of Netflix‘s Narcos.

Dear Killer Nannies is inspired by the son of the Colombian drug lord, Sebastián Marroquín, who happens to be one of the co-creators of the series.

Sebastián, 49, details his bizarre upbringing in the series close to the criminal underworld run by his father, and the extreme violence that he witnessed.

Sebastián, who was born Juan Pablo Escobar, changed his name after his father’s death in 1993 and left his home town in order to distance himself from Escobar’s crimes.

Then 16, he was with his dad in his final moments and was the last person to speak to him before he was killed by law enforcement in Medellin, Colombia.

He has since written a book about the ‘sins’ he witnessed in his early life.

A ‘gut-punching’ crime drama about Pablo Escobar’s son is now streaming on Disney+ – and it makes the perfect alternative for fans of Netflix’s Narcos

Eight-part series Dear Killer Nannies, which has launched on the streaming site today (April 3), is told from the perspective of a young Sebastián, nicknamed Juampi.

It shows him becoming slowly disenchanted with the world of his father, who is played by John Leguizamo in the show.

The series follows Juampi and his sister enjoying the huge wealth and luxury they experienced growing up in Medellin, paired with living under the constant surveillance of Escobar’s narcos hitmen.

It tells a different version of events to Netflix hit series Narcos, which sees Wagner Moura star as Pablo Escobar as he evaded Drug Enforcement Administration for years before finally being taken down.

Dear Killer Nannies’ co-creator Sebastián Ortega explained that the Disney+ series will steer clear of the narcos element of the story, telling Variety: ‘There have been so many stories about narcos. Too many.

‘But when I met Sebastian, I thought: “This is totally different”. It’s not about Pablo Escobar – it’s about his son.

‘He’s slowly realising that what he thinks is normal really isn’t, and that his dad is one of the worst criminals in the world. Imagine realising your dad is Pablo Escobar. It’s so bizarre!

‘You are right there, witnessing horrible crimes and then getting a big hug. It’s all in the title: you’re surrounded by people who took care of you, but who also took people’s lives. It’s so hard to grow up in that environment and turn out all right.’

Despite just dropping on the streaming service, it has already amassed plenty of good reviews from experts with The Guardian comparing it to The Sopranos.

The Guardian wrote: ‘This isn’t just a retelling of the infamous drug lord’s life. His son shares a traumatic coming-of-age story plagued by chaos and violence – and it is like being in The Sopranos.’

It comes after a film that has been dubbed ‘laughable’ and the ‘worst action film ever made’ by viewers has rocketed up the Netflix charts against all odds.

Despite poor reviews from both critics and at-home viewers, with a 50 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 3.7/10 on IMDb, the movie quickly shot up the Top 10 after its release on the platform on April 1.

A Line Of Fire tells the story of former FBI agent Jack ‘Cash’ Conry, played by God’s Not Dead star David A.R. White, as he abandons his role as a spy following the loss of his wife in order to focus on raising his daughters.

However, still driven by a desire to make a difference, he’s dragged back into espionage work after a call from his ex-partner’s niece asking for help.

Assisting Jamie, played by Katrina Bowden, Cash is soon thrown headfirst into a ruthless criminal underworld controlled by Jason Patric’s Josef Amali and Cuba Gooding Jr’s Javier Cardona.

Fans of the genre haven’t held back in ripping apart the action since its initial release in September 2025, slamming it as ‘so bad its good’.

A film that has been dubbed ‘laughable’ and the ‘worst action film ever made’ by viewers has rocketed up the Netflix charts against all odds

One viewer wrote on social film platform Letterboxd: ‘I genuinely wonder who the audience is for this type of movie.

‘To call this the worst action film I’ve seen would be an underplay, it’s even worse than that. It looks so cheap and it’s filmed so badly it’s almost shocking.’

Another chimed in to agree it was ‘easily the worst film’ they had ever seen, writing: ‘There was this one death scene that was so bad I had to get someone to come and laugh at it with me.’

A third person raged: ‘Terrible is an understatement for this movie. The writing is so predictable as it follows your generic action movie plot.

‘Not to mention the actors do not help better the movie as they were also terrible. The script is a bunch of 1 liners that the actors failed to deliver.

‘If I could get back the time wasted on this movie, I would gladly do so.’

Others stepped in to defend the film, and while admitting it was ‘terrible’, suggesting it ‘transcends badness’ and ‘becomes pure entertainment’.

One wrote: ‘This movie is so spectacularly, catastrophically awful that it transcends badness and becomes pure entertainment gold. Sometimes disaster creates accidental art.’

Another chimed in: ‘Invite your friends over to watch and, if they still talk to you after it’s over, you hit the jackpot in life. 1 star – and that’s only because zero isn’t an option.’

It comes after a ‘horrendously bad’ thriller starring Ross Kemp shot up the UK Netflix charts, despite viewers describing it as ‘the worst drama ever produced.’

Blindspot was first broadcast on Channel 5 in 2023 and saw Ross make his first serious return to acting for more than two decades.

Consisting of four parts, the show sees the actor step into the shoes of police officer Tony Warden, who heads up the missing person’s investigation that dominates the show’s plot.

Its synopsis reads: ‘When a woman vanishes from the estate where she once saw a murder, a CCTV operator spots an eerie connection and digs into a case no one will touch.’

The show also stars Beth Alsbury, Crystal Clarke, Sue Vincent, Michelle Bonnard and Lewis Conway.

Ross told Radio Times that he was drawn to the story as he ‘thought it was clever, in terms of what the story is about, about people being watched and how people interpret being watched’.

A ‘horrendously bad’ thriller starring Ross Kemp has shot up the UK Netflix charts, despite viewers describing it as ‘the worst drama ever produced’

Viewers did not hold back in their criticisms of the thriller, admitting that it is so bad that it actually becomes a good watch for comedic value alone.

They wrote on IMDb: ‘This is so horrendously bad – I’m addicted to it. If this was Ross Kemp doing a documentary on bad acting, I’d give it a 10/10.’;

‘Some of the [worst] TV you’re likely to see. Made of a budget of about 20 quid. Awful acting. Terrible writing and it honestly takes itself so seriously that it becomes a comedy. How this was ok to transmit to the public I don’t know.’

‘Prepare yourself for a catastrophic collision of terrible storytelling, abysmal acting, and mind-numbingly poor production values. Blindspot is a prime example of how not to create compelling television.’

Netflix viewers were equally harsh with their assessments of the series on Twitter/X following its release on the streaming platform this week.

They wrote: ‘Had to abandon #blindspot on Netflix. The acting is abysmal. The main character has a weird smirk on her face in every scene. She’s a proper sh*t actor.’;

‘Just watched blindspot on Netflix. So so bad, but addictive. Like one of them daytime soaps my mum would watch in the 80s when we had 4 channels to choose from to pass the time.’;

‘This Blindspot on Netflix is absolutely shocking, but I need to know what happens.’

Others added: ‘Just watched Blindspot on Netflix. So so bad, but addictive. Like one of them daytime soaps my mum would watch in the 80s when we had 4 channels to choose from to pass the time.’

‘Watching Blindspot on Netflix. I think 1 episode is enough. Not for me.’

Prior to the show’s release in 2023, Kemp opened up about being nervous about returning to acting to the Radio Times.

He said: ‘The reason I probably haven’t acted is because people just think, “He’s a documentarian, that’s what he wants to do”.

‘I was genuinely nervous and worried about it. But I also hope that having not touched anything in nearly 20 years as an actor, and that’s ultimately what I trained to do, hopefully I haven’t gotten any worse, and maybe I’ve improved slightly with age.’

Ross Kemp is best known for playing Grant Mitchell in EastEnders, a role he occupied from 1990 to 1999.

He has acted sporadically since then, predominately appearing in documentaries such as Ross Kemp Behind Bars: Inside Barlinnie and Ross Kemp: Shipwreck Treasure Hunter.

Beef will return to Netflix for its second series on April 16.
