Netflix’s “Beef” premiered in early April and quickly became a hit with fans. The dark comedy-drama series follows two strangers (Ali Wong and Steven Yeun) who get into a road rage accident that causes a whirlwind of trouble. While it’s unclear if “Beef” will get a second season, we decided to round up some similar projects that are casting now. For those who want to join a Netflix production or something that reminds them of “Beef,” check out these gigs.
