Yes, chef!

SEASON three of the comedy-drama series The Bear is out today on Hulu and Disney+.

Created by Christopher Storer, the critically acclaimed series follows young chef Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) who inherits his family’s rundown sandwich shop in Chicago following the death of his brother Michael. He is expected to run it while processing family traumas and dealing with his late brother’s debts.

The chaotic series’ cast also includes Golden Globe winner Ayo Edebiri as crew member Sydney Adamu, and Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach who plays restaurant manager Richard ‘Richie’ Jerimovich.

In a recent interview, Jeremy revealed that the cast only wrapped up filming earlier this month. “Our show works a little bit differently,” he said.

On what to expect from the new season in comparison to the previous ones, he said, “Season one was so different to season two, and season three is even stranger and more kind of joyful and anxiety-ridden.”

The 10 new episodes are set to pick up with the reopening of Carmy’s restaurant, showcasing the challenges it’ll bring him and his crew on their journey to culinary success, as they try balancing their kitchen duties and personal lives.

The Bear has been praised for its engaging and genuine storyline, which involves accurate kitchen lingo that fans of the series have become familiar with. Characters are often heard shouting the terms ‘corner, behind!’, which prevents kitchen staff from running into each other, ‘family style’, referring to the staff sharing a meal, and ‘chaos menu’ for a menu that isn’t curated around a particular cuisine or theme.

Fans are also hungry for more musical moments, as the series is loved not only for its mouth-watering dishes, but also for its sound tracks, which previously included tunes by Talking Heads’ frontman David Byrne, Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem and, most famously, a moment from season two that featured Taylor Swift’s 2008 country hit Love Story.

The kitchen-set show won a Golden Globe earlier this year for best television series – musical or comedy, and its two stars Jeremy and Ayo took home the genre’s best actor and actress awards for their roles as Carmy and Sydney.

Ebon’s portrayal of Richie also earned him his first Emmy award in 2023 for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series.
