The first season of FX’s The Bear debuted on Hulu in June 2022. The second season of the series premiered one year later in June 2023. According to Deadline, FX has renewed The Bear for a third season, which is set to release in 2024.

As Deadline notes, FX’s President of Original Programming Nick Grad spoke about the series and its renewal. Grad stated, “The Bear, which wowed audiences in its first season only to achieve even greater heights in season two, has become a cultural phenomenon.”

He continued, “We’re so proud to partner with Christopher Storer, Joanna Calo, Josh Senior, and the rest of the creative team, as well as the brilliant cast led by Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. What they and the crew have done is truly remarkable, and we and our partners at Hulu join fans in looking forward to the next chapter in the story of The Bear.” 

Created by Christopher Storer (Eighth Grade, Bo Burnham: Make Happy), The Bear follows Carmen Berzatto, nicknamed Carmy, and his experience with taking over his family’s sandwich shop in Chicago. Carmy is portrayed by Jeremy Allen White (Shameless, The Iron Claw). 

The Bear won two Television Critics Association Awards in August. Specifically, the series won the award for Outstanding Achievement In Comedy and the Outstanding New Program award.

Additionally, for the 75th Emmy Awards Ceremony premiering in January 2024, The Bear has been nominated in multiple categories, including Outstanding Comedy Series. White is nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, Ayo Edebiri (Bottoms, Abbott Elementary), who plays Sydney, is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (No Hard Feelings, The Punisher), who plays Richard, is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

Jon Bernthal (Daredevil, The Punisher), who plays Michael, and Oliver Platt (Chicago Med, Lake Placid), who plays Uncle Jimmy, have both been nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.

Fans of The Bear can rejoice in seeing their favorite characters return for a third season.
