The kitchen-based series led by Jeremy Allen White is a truly nerve-racking tale. The season 2 finale cliffhanger left fans biting their nails, wondering what would happen with Carmy and his fine-dining restaurant. Luckily, answers are closer than you think, with season 3 debuting this June.
The small-scale series about a run-down Chicago diner has made a name for itself in the last few years. The second season of The Bear won three Golden Globes and ten Emmy Awards and made global stars out of Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, who portray Carmy Berzatto and Sidney Adamu.
Let’s find out what’s already known about the new episodes of the series.
When could The Bear season 3 release?
The third season of The Bear will drop on Hulu and Disney+ on Thursday, 27 June 2024.
It will consist of 10 episodes that will appear on the service on the same day.
A June release date fits the familiar pattern – The Bear season 1 premiered on 23 June 2022, and season 2 on 22 June 2023.
What could the plot of The Bear season 3 be about?
Spoilers for season 2 below.
Here’s the official description of the third season:
Carmy pushes himself harder than ever and demands excellence from his crew, who do their best to match his intensity. Their quest for culinary excellence will propel the crew to new levels and stress the bonds that hold the restaurant together. As the team grows in size, each member will strive to reach a greater level of service within their role. In the restaurant industry, you’re never on solid ground, and with that ever-changing landscape comes new challenges and opportunities. Our chefs have learned that every second counts, but this season we’ll find out if they have what it takes to make it to tomorrow.
The second season of the series ended on a bitter note. As is typical in The Bear, there can’t be a win without a loss.
On the opening day of the new restaurant, the venture’s success hung by a thread. Carmy, trapped in the fridge, once again teetered on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Luckily, Richie saved the situation, and ultimately, the team emerged victorious from their first battle.
Unfortunately, at the last moment, Carmy sabotaged his blooming relationship with Claire. During his meltdown behind the fridge door, the young chef insulted his grilfriend and broke up with her, deciding to give up on romantic relationships.
Although Carmy revealed himself to Claire in the worst light, their relationship may not be beyond recovery. In the third season, Carmy may finally emerge from his crisis and see the benefits of having a life outside of work.
In season 3, Sydney and Marcus will also have to deal with their personal lives, as they begin to fall for one another. One of the most exciting storylines will likely involve Richie, who seems to overcome his insecurities and get ready to take responsibility for the restaurant.
In the third season, the entire team will undoubtedly face a difficult battle for the survival of the newly established business. As you may recall, the group decided to open the restaurant in challenging economic conditions and have been grappling with the spectre of bankruptcy from the very beginning.
One thing is sure: The Bear season 3 will provide viewers with kitchen rows, family traumas, and the best food you can find in Chicago.
Who is starring in The Bear season 3?
We expect the following actors to reprise their roles in the third instalment of The Bear:
Jeremy Allen White – Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto
Ayo Edebiri – Sydney Adamu
Ebon Moss-Bachrach – Richie Jerimovich
Abby Elliott – Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto
Lionel Boyce – Marcus Brooks
Liza Colón-Zayas – Tina Marrero
Matty Matheson – Neil Fak

Thanks to a short video posted on Twitter, we know that Will Poulter will return in the third instalment of The Bear. In season 2, the actor portrayed Copenhagen pastry chef Luca, who helped Marcus develop new desserts for Carmy’s restaurant.
Will Poulter was spotted filming a scene on a Chicago street, so it looks like Luca will drop by to visit old friends in season 3.
The Bear became famous for its cameos. Besides Will Poulter, the show featured guest stars including Jon Bernthal, Olivia Colman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, and John Mulaney.
We will keep an eye on all the rumours about cameos in The Bear season 3.
Will there be The Bear season 4?
According to rumours – yes. FX is said to have quietly renewed the series for the fourth season; however, there’s no official confirmation of this report.
