'Beef' sweeps at Emmys — here's how to watch

The limited TV series "Beef" took home five Emmy Awards on Jan. 15, including best limited series.

The A24-produced comedy-drama stars Ali Wong as Amy Lau and Steven Yeun as a down-on-his-luck contractor Danny Cho.

For their roles, Wong and Yeun each earned best actor/actress in a limited series at the Emmys. The show's creator, Lee Sung Jin, also won two Emmys for his work.

With her Emmy's win, Wong became the first Asian woman to take home the award for outstanding lead actress in a limited series or movie.

The show previously made history earlier this month. The limited series took home three Golden Globes and became the first show created by and starring Asian Americans to win in the category of best television limited series.

Where can I watch or stream 'Beef'?

“Beef” is available to be streamed on Netflix.

The show originally was released on April 6, 2023.

New subscribers can sign up for the streaming service for just $6.99 with the standard with ads plan. Plans differ if you opt for the ad-free plan.

What is 'Beef' about?

In the show, a road rage incident between the two main characters in the parking lot of a big box store sets a chain of events into motion. The show's creator, Lee Sung Jin, reminded audiences that a real-life experience led him to write that road rage scene.

“Our show is actually based on a real road rage incident that actually happened to me, so I’d be remiss not to thank that driver,” Lee joked while accepting the award for best limited TV series. “Sir, I hope you honk and yell and inspire others for years to come.”

In the show, both Lau and Cho are experiencing their own individual crises. Instead of responsibly dealing with their personal issues, the two can't let go of their road rage beef. Their misplaced anger continues escalating, creating both dramatic and sometimes comedic events that eventually destroy their lives as they knew it.

Will there be another season of 'Beef?'

The show was billed as a limited series, Lee told TODAY.com previously, but after "Beef" swept at the Emmy Awards, he seemed open to exploring other options for his characters.

"I wish I could say, I feel like there are so many paths you could take," Lee said in the press room on Jan. 15. "It was a very close-ended story for sure but if some of us wanted to continue, it could also be an anthology.

"It could be many things but it's up to the great algorithm," he said, referring to Netflix's streaming platform.

'Beef' made history at the 2024 Golden Globes

Both Wong and Yeun each took home a Golden Globe for their performances in the limited series.

“It’s everything to see Steven (Yeun) win...” Wong told the press room at the time. “I think i just screamed and I had a really ugly face when I screamed because I was just so surprised and excited. We worked really hard on the show and it means everything to me (for both to win).”

With Yeun's win for best male actor in a limited series, he became the first Asian American man to win in that category.

Wong also became the first Asian American to take home a win for best actress in a limited series for her role in “Beef.” She kissed her boyfriend, fellow comedian Bill Hader, after learning she won and thanked her ex-husband, Justin Hakuta, in her speech.

“I really need to thank the father of my children and my best friend, Justin (Hakuta), for all of your love and support,” she concluded her acceptance speech. “It’s because of you that I’m able to be a working mother.”
