Hulu has unveiled a first-look clip of The Bear Season 3, showing off what’s next for Carmy and the rest of the titular restaurant’s crew after Season 2’s dramatic finale.
The footage, which was shown off as part of a Disney shareholder's meeting today, gives us a more Fak as the crew continues to shape The Bear into the Chicago food spot Carmy has always dreamed of. Of course, the head chef isn’t in totally love with the changes they’re making.
It’s a minute-long clip that looks to maintain the same comedy-drama feel that has propelled the show into the limelight for two seasons.
[Editor's Note: The clip has been removed at FX's request.]
Spoilers for The Bear Season 1 and 2 below.
It looks like things are mostly back to business for The Bear crew after Season 2 saw every cook in the kitchen reach their highest highs and lowest lows. The clip doesn’t spoil too much about what’s to come, but it does at least confirm that Carmy finally got out of that kitchen freezer. How he plans to rebuild his relationship with Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s Richie (a.k.a. Cousin) and, more importantly, Molly Gordon’s Claire, however, remains to be seen.
Thankfully, it looks like The Bear won’t let Season 2’s heartbreak ending keep the show from making viewers laugh. It’s made a name for itself as a stressful feel-good Hulu show over the last few years, and even went on to sweep various award shows the past few months. The Bear managed to nab three Golden Globes awards in January, later going on to take home a whopping six awards at The Emmys.
Like the show itself, Hulu’s The Bear is moving fast. After wrapping up Season 2 last summer, the show will premiere Season 3 sometime this June, with Season 4 also said to be in the cards. For more on the Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri-led restaurant series, be sure to check out our review of Season 2. We gave it a 10/10, saying, “The second course of The Bear serves up the perfect bite of anxiety and growth.”
