Diving Into the World of ‘BEEF’ with Finneas

If you’ve been following Finneas O’Connell’s journey beyond the studio, you’ll know he's been quietly building an impressive career in Hollywood scoring. Now, he’s taking a giant leap as the full composer for Season 2 of Netflix’s critically acclaimed series, BEEF.

This upcoming soundtrack will be released by A24's freshly minted music label, A24 Music, hitting digital shelves on April 16. Fans have already had a taste with the release of the first single, “Vicious Thoughts,” setting the tone for what promises to be one of Finneas’ most ambitious screen projects yet.

Previously, Finneas contributed to the scores of notable films like The Fallout and lent his musical talents to various film and TV projects, often alongside his sister Billie Eilish. But BEEF is where his cinematic storytelling truly takes center stage.

“Spent the last 12 months in BEEF land. All eight episodes out April 16, all original music by me,” Finneas shared. “Very grateful to [creator] Sonny [Lee] for involving me, very grateful for the incredible performances from the entire cast. I probably watched every scene 100 times while I scored the show and I felt it every time. True fan of this show, very honored and proud to be a part of it.”

From Season 1’s Breakout Success to a Fresh Season 2 Vibe

If you haven’t seen BEEF yet, the first season made waves with its raw, intense storytelling and unforgettable performances from Steven Yeun and Ali Wong. It quickly became a critical darling, scooping up major awards and solidifying its place as a defining show of 2023.

Season 2, however, flips the script with a fresh cast led by Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan. The new storyline explores a toxic unraveling between a wealthy couple and the younger employees caught in their orbit, promising fresh layers of tension and drama to score. Finneas’ music is primed to mirror this emotional unraveling, adding depth and texture to the unfolding chaos.

The Creator’s Praise for Finneas’ Musical Magic

Lee Sung Jin, the mastermind behind BEEF (known to the world simply as Sonny Lee), couldn’t be more thrilled to have Finneas on board:

“Finneas is the brilliant mind behind most of the music that has soundtracked my personal life over the last decade, so it’s an absolute honor to collaborate with him on the new season,” Lee said. “He has an incredible ability to make the darkest emotions sound so achingly beautiful, and I cannot wait for everyone to hear what he’s cooked up.”

That kind of praise only fuels anticipation for the soundtrack, which promises to be a hauntingly beautiful companion to a show already known for its emotional punch.

Wrapping It Up: Why Finneas’ Score Matters

The soundtrack of a show like BEEF isn’t just background noise—it’s the pulse of the story, the emotional undercurrent that pulls viewers deeper into every twist and turn. Finneas’ ability to capture everything from simmering tension to heartbreak through his music is a perfect fit for this series.

With the full release of Season 2’s soundtrack on April 16, including the evocative “Vicious Thoughts,” fans have plenty to look forward to. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the show or just a music enthusiast who loves a good score, Finneas’ work here is a masterclass in how sound can shape storytelling.
