Yes, chef!
Like a three-hatted restaurant’s degustation menu, you have to give The Bear credit for its consistency. The third season of the rightly acclaimed series will return on June 27 and it will drop all 10 episodes at once.

The dramedy stars Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri as Carmy and Sydney, two creative chefs trying to turn a failing restaurant into a hot, gourmet destination. In addition to the general challenges of kitchen nightmares, there’s also Carmy’s inability to properly confront his deep emotional pain and family history.
The date announcement was accompanied by a teaser trailer which sees Carmy returning to the kitchen in which he (spoiler alert) had a breakdown, locked inside the walk-in fridge, at the end of season two.
According to the official description, the new season will see the crew doing their best just to stay in business with every day a losing battle in a brutal industry.
It also promises Carmy hasn’t learnt the art of the chill (unless you’re talking about dish temperature) and he continues to be as intense as ever, and pushing himself even harder.
Since its debut in June 2022, The Bear has become one of the most celebrated TV shows in the world, winning a slew of fans and awards.
The series cleaned up at the American TV awards, the Emmys, taking home gongs for best series, actor for White, supporting actress for Edebiri, supporting actor for Ebon Moss-Bachrach and the writing and directing categories for creator Christopher Storer.
It also won the major awards at the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The Bear also stars Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colon-Zayas and Matty Matheson. Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon will return in recurring roles.
It has kept under wraps any special stars for the upcoming season, but if the calibre of former guests are any indication, it’s sure to be impressive. Previous guests have included Jamie Lee Curtis, Olivia Colman, John Mulaney, Sarah Paulson, Joel McHale, Jon Bernthal, Molly Ringwald, Gillian Jacobs, Bob Odenkirk and Will Poulter.
The Bear has made veritable stars out of White and Edebiri, with the former headlining a provocative and much-talked about Calvin Klein campaign.
An upcoming fourth instalment was filmed back-to-back with season three.
