The Bear will serve up a third season on Hulu
Everyone's favorite chaotic kitchen has officially been renewed for at least one more round of service
Aux News The Bear
Grab your apron, sharpen your knives, and get ready to scream your favorite back of house exclamation at a coworker you deeply respect but also antagonize on a daily basis—we’re going back to the kitchen, baby! That’s right; fan favorite restaurant drama, spawner of a thousand Halloween costumes, and exercise in sheer anxiety The Bear has officially been renewed for season three on Hulu. Everybody say, “Yes, chef!”
The Bear’s excellent season two saw the old Original Beef crew pour their literal blood, sweat, and tears into transforming the humble sandwich joint into a Michelin star-worthy dining experience. When we last saw Carmy, Sydney, and the rest of the team, the fledgeling restaurant—also called The Bear—was on shaky ground after a successful first service (well, for everyone except a very angry, freezer-bound Carmy) but with lots of industry obstacles still to overcome. We don’t know any specific ingredients in this upcoming third course, but if the quality of rounds one and two is anything to go by, it’s pretty safe to assume creator Christopher Storer is cooking up something just as juicy for this next outing.
The Bear stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, along with Lionel Boyce, Liza, Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Oliver Platt, and Matty Matheson (who also serves as an executive producer). In season two, the show also featured a revolving door of A-list guest stars, among them Jamie Lee Curtis, Jon Bernthal, Olivia Colman, Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, John Mulaney, Joel McHale, and many others.
The first season of the show is currently nominated for 13 Emmys awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, and best actor nods for Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Jon Bernthal, and Oliver Platt.

The only surprise was that it wasn’t renewed earlier, but I’ll chalk that up to the writers strike.
Can’t exist soon enough. If Hulu could make this available intravenously, that would be great.
I liked the second season more than the first, but I can’t forgive the Christmas episode. Not once in history has a Catholic family gathered for Christmas in Chicago with fewer than 4 children under the age of 10. I’d buy that there was a whole basement full of elementary school kids in itchy sweaters playing PlayStation and staying the fuck away from the adults, but that’s entirely head canon.
I’m not a Chicagoan but my catholic family only has two kids under 10. I think demographics are changing for millennial families, a lot of us are having kids later in life than in the past.
They had to cut the cold open in which Jamie Lee Curtis lured all the children into the oven and incinerated them.
Or the opening scene where she failed to protect them from the Boogeyman? It all comes together.
I just assumed everyone knew she chopped them up and used them for stuffing.
I kind of can’t believe they didn’t already have assurances there’d be a third season with the way they ended the second. If that’s how the whole thing had finished, it would have been beyond horrible.
Guessing they were waiting for the strike to end so the actors could chime in with excitement on social media for the S3 pickup. The fact that this has been announced without their participation is a pretty clear sign the platforms don’t think the strike will end any time soon.
“Forks” was a genuinely remarkable episode of television, if only because it turned me around on Richie, a character I quite sincerely loathed for the first season and a half.
