During the Oscars, FX released the first teaser for The Bear Season 2, which finds all our buddies from The Beef packing up shop as they get ready to move over to their new venture, presumably purchased with all that tomato can money. It's short, sweet, and just enough to hold us over until we get some more news.
The Bear Season 2 release date
After hinting that the series would return in "early summer," the first teaser for Season 2 confirms that The Bear will return in June. We don't have an exact release date yet, but knowing what month it'll be back is promising.
At the Television Critics Association winter press tour, the cast and crew talked about what's in store for The Bear Season 2. "They think they're starting from a healthy place, but a restaurant, like a lot of other businesses, just creates the same problems," show creator Christopher Storer said about the characters launching the new restaurant "The Bear." "We see them have to step up in certain ways and in some ways regress but hopefully come back together." It was also announced that Season 2 will contain 10 episodes instead of Season 1's eight.
The Bear Season 2 cast
According to Variety, Bob Odenkirk is the first new cast member to be announced for Season 2, joining the series in a currently undisclosed guest role. Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Edwin Lee Gibson, and Matty Matheson will all reprise their roles from Season 1. Here's hoping we also get at least one more Jon Bernthal flashback.
How to watch The Bear
Season 1 of The Bear is available to stream on Hulu.
