FX has given the green light for the production of the third season of the award-winning series “The Bear.” The new episodes are scheduled to premiere in 2024, barring any delays caused by the ongoing actors’ strike in Hollywood.
The protagonist of “The Bear” is a young chef named Carmy. He tries to change the fortunes of both the Original Beef of Chicagoland bar and himself by working with a rough-and-tumble kitchen crew that ultimately becomes his chosen family.
In the second season, Carmy, Sydney, and Richie embark on an ambitious task to transform the sandwich bar into a more upscale establishment. However, this will not be an easy endeavor, especially in terms of personal growth. During the execution of the plan, the entire team at The Original Beef of Chicagoland will have to confront their own pasts and the impending future.
Carmy quickly realizes that opening a new restaurant is much more complex than managing the existing one. The characters will face bureaucratic hurdles, subcontractor creativity, and the challenge of designing a new menu. These changes will bring about a fresh perspective on the concept of hospitality. The team will need to come together anew, push the boundaries of their capabilities, and build relationships while discovering what it means to serve—both the guests and each other.
Christopher Storer is the creator of “The Bear.” The series features an ensemble cast, including Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson, Edwin Lee Gibson, Corey Hendrix, Oliver Platt, Jon Bernthal, José Cervantes, Richard Esteras, Carmen Christopher, Chris Witaske, Joel McHale, Jamie Lee Curtis, Gillian Jacobs, Robert Townsend, Molly Gordon, Alex Moffat, Ricky Staffieri, Mitra Jouhari, and Maura Kidwell.
