Cailee Spaeny looks at Charles Melton, her co-star on the second season of Netflix limited series Beef<\/em><\/span>, asking for help: \u201cWait a minute \u2026 how long were we attached?\u201d Melton smiles and reaches for her hand. \u201cWe\u2019ve been attached our whole lives.\u201d<\/div>\n

Have they? Given how they tease and finish each other\u2019s sentences, it sure feels that way. Spaeny and Melton were cast as Ashley and Austin, a Gen Z couple working at a country club, dreaming and scheming towards upward mobility, a good 18 months before the shoot began in early 2025.<\/p>\n

When the Palisades and Eaton fires<\/span> delayed the start of filming, Spaeny and Melton decamped and rented an Airbnb with some friends and continued what Spaeny calls their \u201cweird prep\u201d for playing the series\u2019 besotted couple. They cooked dinners together, played games and even watched Riverdale<\/em>, the CW series that catapulted Melton to fame a decade ago.<\/div>\n

\u201cWe also watched Wicked<\/em> too many times,\u201d Spaeny says.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were singing a lot<\/em>,\u201d Melton says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
