Lee Sung Jin is ready to cook up more Beef.
Backstages at the Golden Globes on Sunday night, the hit Netflix show’s creator revealed that more seasons was always the plan, even if it has heretofore been discussed as a limited series, including tonight as it won the prize for Best Limited Series, Anthology Series, Made for Television Movie.
“We always pitched the season to buyers as an anthology series. There was always going to be new characters,” Jin explained. “Whether it stays limited or turns as an anthology or we continue existing, that’s really up to Netflix. But whatever they decide, I’m definitely ready.”
Jin went on to say that he feels “very fortunate” to be a writer. “There’s so many stories that I still want to write about,” he reflected, “so when they let me know, I’m sure you all will know, as well.

Exclusive: Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn is heading back to the Cannes Film Festival, but not in the way you might expect.
Refn is expected in Cannes with his new Amazon TV series, Too Old To Die Young, I understand.
This is shaping up to be the first Cannes in four years without a Netflix or Amazon movie in the lineup but the latter will at least have a presence with Refn’s anticipated crime-drama, whose strong cast includes Miles Teller, Billy Baldwin, John Hawkes, Celestino Cornielle, Nell Tiger Free, Jena Malone, Babs Olusanmokun, Alexander Gomez and Callie Hernandez.
The show, which debuts on Amazon Prime on June 14, will take a neon-soaked look at the criminal underbelly of La, including working-class hit men, Yakuza soldiers, cartel assassins from Mexico, Russian mafia captains and teenage killers.
According to the moody trailer which dropped a couple of weeks ago, we can expect...

Of the many films the Tribeca Film Festival shows, one of the biggest categories that often gets overlooked is the shorts category. Shorts are most definitely much harder to make considering their limited screen time and the need to fit a whole story within that time. Taking that into consideration, the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival decided to split up its shorts submissions into various categories, including New York Now shorts program.
This array of shorts all contained some form of New York City within them, whether through history, character, story, or anything in between. There were seven shorts in the program, and they are as follows:
Mildred & The Dying Parlor: Directed by Alex Gayner, starring Zosia Mamet, Jane Krakowski, Steve Buscemi, and Evan Jonigkeit; about a family who runs a dying parlor out of their home until an unexpected visitor shows up. Wannabe: Directed by Matthew Manson, starring Malcolm-Jamal Warner,...
