It’s been a big few months for The Bear. The cult FX show dominated awards season, scooping up three Golden Globes, six Emmys and four trophies at the Critics Choice Awards. But it’s not over yet: Carmy, Sydney and the gang are returning to the kitchen for a highly-anticipated third season. Here’s all the information we have so far about The Bear season 3, including the recently released teaser trailer.

This story contains spoilers for The Bear seasons one and two.

The Bear Season 3: Plot, Cast, Release Date

What Will Happen In The Bear Season 3?

The second season of The Bear follows Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) as they relaunch their Chicago restaurant. It concluded with a chaotic family and friends opening night, which saw Carmy getting locked in the fridge – with lots of questions left unanswered. What does the future hold for Carmy and Claire’s relationship? Is Sydney OK? Will the restaurant survive?

The official synopsis reads: ‘It’s a losing battle every single day in the restaurant business. Carmy pushes himself harder than ever, and demands excellence from his crew, who do their best to match his intensity. We’re also told his ‘quest for culinary excellence will propel the crew to new levels and stress the bonds that hold the restaurant together’.

White told Variety the series would be more similar to season 1, honing in once again on the kitchen environment. ‘I do know in January I’m going to spend a fair amount of time getting together with some chefs,’ he said. ‘There’ll be a menu set, I believe, that’s going to be for the restaurant in the third season. And I know that I’m going to start putting together that menu with different chefs and cooking and just trying to get prepared to do more of that stuff on camera.’

He added: ‘We all did a lot of preparation before the first season. I went to culinary school and I spent a lot of time in restaurants and stuff. And then, for the second season, so much of it was about putting the restaurant together, so there wasn’t that much cooking. But now, in the third season, I think we’re going to go back to that functioning kitchen atmosphere that we had in the first.’

Who Will Be In The Cast?

All the favourites will return for season 3, including:

Jeremy Allen White as Carmy Berzatto
Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu
Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie Jerimovich
Abby Elliott as Natalie ‘Sugar’ Berzatto
Lionel Boyce as Marcus
Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina
Matty Matheson as Neil
Oliver Platt as Uncle Jimmy
Molly Gordon as Claire

Season 2 also featured a long list of celebrity appearances from names like Jamie Lee Curtis, Olivia Colman and Will Poulter, so perhaps season 3 will have another high-profile cameo or two.

When Is The Bear Season 3 Coming Out?

The third season of The Bear will arrive on Disney Plus in the UK on 27 June 2024, with all episodes set to drop at the same time. This news was announced by FX chairman John Landgraf at the TCA Winter Tour recently, who also explained the decision to make The Bear available to binge-watch. ‘We all watched the first season, we talked about it, and it wasn’t lost on me or anyone else who worked on the show that it’s a little anxiety-inducing,’ he said. ‘So we made a decision that we would drop the whole thing as a binge, because for those of you who saw it, it has a really beautiful, very uplifting ending.’
