«Grudge" from Netflix became the winner in all eight categories at the Emmy Awards in which she was nominated. Against the background of this success, the creator of the mini-series Lee Sung-jin stated ‘Beef’ Creator Teases Season 2 Possibilities: ‘If Netflix Wanted to Continue, It Could Be an Anthology’ / Variety behind the scenes of the award, I am ready to take up the development of the second season.
Although the series was conceived as a small story and therefore has a closed ending, the cinematographer has many ideas for continuing the plot. He also believes that it is quite possible to turn it into an anthology with different characters and problems in each new season.
It seems to me that there are many ways to continue. If Netflix wants to, then the show can also be turned into an anthology. Or into anything else.
Accepting the statuette for Best miniseries, he thanked everyone who watched his show.
The streaming service has not yet made any statements about a possible sequel. But against the background of such success among critics and viewers, it can be assumed that the company will develop the project.
In November 2023, Lee signed a multi-year contract with Netflix. "Grudge" became his first directorial work both for a streaming service and in his career.
