Studio that was only founded 10 years ago has created another masterpiece with Netflix series Beef
Everything this studio touches seems to turn to gold.
An indie studio which has only been around for the last decade took the Oscars by storm, being the winning company behind films which won not just one or two but a total of eight awards, as well as all four acting categories - marking an Oscars first.
Not only that, but the studio is proving its truly the gift that keeps on giving, providing us with a Netflix comedy-drama that has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.

As if being the company behind films that won Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Film Editing and Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the 2023 Oscars wasn't enough, the studio's since released a TV series onto Netflix which viewers can't get enough of.
Is there anything A24 Films can't do? Apparently not in adding Beef to their collection - which already includes Midsommar, Hereditary, Aftersun, The Whale and Everything Everywhere All at Once.
The official Netflix synopsis for Beef - created by Lee Sung Jin and starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong - reads: "A road rage incident between two strangers - a failing contractor and an unfulfilled entrepreneur - sparks a feud that brings out their darkest impulses."
Despite only being released on 6 April, 2023, Beef has seen an outpouring of support, gaining a Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer score of 99 percent and audience score of 94 percent.
People have been flocking to social media after watching the series, quick to jump on the A24 Films love train.
One Twitter user commented: "I just finished #BEEFNetflix #beef and wow. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. Amazing performances all around. Yeun and wong are fantastic. Funny, thrilling and anxiety inducing. What a show. Netflix has a WINNER."
"Me trying to stay sane after watching the most riveting show in a while. They ate down with the casting, performances, and writing. Soundtracks were insane… A multilayered that touches on so many underlying issues (mental health, trauma, and familial duties). #BEEFNetflix," another said.
Someone who's already binge-watched the entirety of season one wrote: "Phenomenal ending to a phenomenal show. I need a season 2 desperately. #BEEFNetflix."
A final urged: "Drop everything you're doing, watch BEEF on Netflix, now."
People who've been following along with A24 Films latest releases have also taken to Twitter to share their outpouring of support for the studio.
A user said: "A24 Films have a special place in my heart."
"A24 Films can't miss they make some of the best movies," a second added.
A third resolved: "I don’t ever watch movies but I constantly keep up with A24 Films and get so excited when new ones get released."
