The Bear is a TV hit following its debut in June of 2022, and thankfully, fans have a clearer idea of when to expect the show’s highly-anticipated second season as FX teased the show’s early Summer 2023 return at the Winter 2023 Television Critics Association Press Tour.
During the event, Golden Globe-winning lead Jeremy Allen White joined costars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Matty Matheson, Edwin Lee Gibson, and showrunners Christopher Storer, and Joanna Calo among others to offer critics a peek behind the culinary curtain about what’s next for the series.

Among the details shared, viewers will get to enjoy a hearty binge of ten episodes for Season 2, a sizable increase from Season 1’s enjoyable eight-episode run. FX’s The Bear premiered on June 23, 2022, on Hulu and became an overnight success, garnering huge streaming numbers for the network and landing a quick Season 2 renewal.
Along with White’s recent Globe win, the star earned a Screen Actors Guild Awards nomination for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, and The Bear as a whole was nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. The show also earned three Critics Choice Award nominations including Best Comedy Series, Best Actor in a Comedy Series for White, and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Edebiri.
Needless to say, this bingeable delight is sizzling amid awards season buzz.
