Buckle up, friends, because Netflix is here to show you what happens when road rage escalates to unimaginable heights. We all know roads are dangerous places for chance encounters. You rarely know who’s behind the wheel, and a split-second lapse in judgment can lead to disaster. In Netflix’s Beef trailer, Danny Cho (Steven Yeun) and Amy Lau (Ali Wong) become mortal enemies after an altercation spirals out of control. Life will get complicated for both parties as revenge becomes their focus, and one act of retribution is far from enough.
Today, Netflix released the official Beef trailer, key art, and additional photos. You can read the official synopsis for this twisted comedy below:

Have you ever experienced a heightened instance of road rage? Can you tell us what happened? I’ve witnessed a few nasty altercations in parking lots and on suburban roads. One time, someone took a person’s kayak off their roof and sent it flying through the back window of their van, there was glass everywhere, and the owner of the vehicle was shouting things I can’t print here. I wonder if Danny and Amy will find love after their violent spat. We’ll find out when Beef brings raw comedy to Netflix on April 6, 2023.
