‘The Bear’: Everything We Know About Season 3 So Far
The Bear‘s third season looms on the horizon at Hulu as the FX original from creator Christopher Storer is slated to return in 2024.
The Emmy-winning hit starring Jeremy Allen White as Chicago-based chef Carmy Berzatto quickly captured the attention of audiences after its 2022 debut and continued with Season 2’s arrival in 2023. Now, as we look ahead to what’s next, we’re breaking down everything we know about the highly-anticipated third season.
Production & Filming
As of February 2024, The Bear‘s third season is officially filming and in production. Star Ayo Edebiri teased her return to Chicago for filming in mid-February just after a casting call for extras had been listed for later in the month. Ultimately, Matty Matheson, real-life chef, series consulting producer, and star, confirmed the production’s ongoing status during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on February 27, revealing that the team is back in Chicago and he’d be going to set the next day.
Since then, it has been revealed that Edebiri will be directing in Season 3, bringing her own perspective to the FX hit, according to Vogue. The gig came after encouragement by Storer, Edebiri shared, “The first time I met Chris, I was 21, and he was like, ‘You’re a director.’ I was like, Mind your business, bro… But then last season, he said, ‘Come to set, just come to set, see what happens.’… And I was like, Oh, okay. Yeah. I think I want to do this.”
