Whether you have experience on the line in a kitchen, have a thing for cooks in classic white tees, or just love seeing a good plate of food get put together on screen, there’s something for everyone in FX‘s hit original series The Bear, with all of Season Three streaming today on Hulu.
After much buzz from those in and outside the culinary world, The Bear returned for a second course in 2023, as stars Jeremy Allen White (Carmy), Ayo Edebiri (Sydney), and the cast took us along for the wild ride of turning The Original Beef of Chicagoland into their dream restaurant: The Bear. Now with all of Season Three premiering tonight on Hulu, The Bear‘s new episodes pick up where we left off with Carmy and the team after they opened the new restaurant (and all the pressures that come with it).
“Those are non-negotiables,” Carmy says to his sister Natalie (Abby Elliott) in The Bear Season Three trailer, “That’s how restaurants at the highest level operate.” On the list: “Push boundaries,” “constantly evolve through creativity,” and “vibrant collaboration — that’s demented,” as Cousin Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) puts it.
Whether you want to start from the first season or watch Season Three, there are a couple of ways to binge the whole dramatic series from creator Christopher Storer on Hulu. Here’s everything you will need to know about how to watch The Bear Season Three online.

The Bear Season Three: Cast, Number of Episodes
Leading The Bear once again is Jeremy Allen White, with Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Cousin Richie), Lionel Boyce (Marcus), Liza Colón-Zayas (Tina), Abby Elliott (Carmy’s sister Natalie), and Ayo Edebiri (Sydney) also starring in Season Three.
“I love acting with him,” Edebiri previously told Rolling Stone‘s CT Jones in an interview about working with White. “[Jeremy] was such a generous scene partner and person, and such a hard worker with very consistent energy. He’s so phenomenal.”
White reprises his role as “Carmy” Berzatto, who in Season One returned home to Chicago to manage The Original Beef of Chicagoland, a rundown River North restaurant owned by his late brother Mikey, played by Jon Bernthal, who died by suicide.
The Bear Season Three features 10 episodes, and once again follows the lives of the cooks and Carmy as the entire crew turns The Beef into the fine-dining experience of their dreams, now dubbed The Bear.
The Bear Season 3 Release Date
The Bear Season Three premieres today, June 26 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Hulu. The third chapter includes 10 total episodes.
More Food-Related Shows and Movies Like The Bear
If you’ve got a craving for more foodie shows and films like The Bear, you can keep salivating over delicious plates and high-tension drama with these top picks — here’s what to watch if you love The Bear.
1. Chef (Prime Video)
After an argument with the owner of his restaurant, Chef Carl Casper (Jon Favreau) decides to leave fine dining behind and ends up in the possession of an old food trick which he uses to create a Cuban-inspired concept. With his young son and his best friend, he travels around the country looking to reignite his old passion for cooking. Plus, the grilled cheese scene is absolutely stunning. Where to Watch: Prime Video
2. Gentefied (Netflix)
Gentefied (which had a killer two-season run before unceremoniously being cancelled by Netflix earlier this year) follows three Mexican–American cousins as they struggle to run their family’s taco shop in Los Angeles, all while dealing with the challenges of encroaching gentrification on their neighborhood. If you like similar themes of food and family, Gentefied is the season for you. Where to Watch: Netflix
3. No Reservations (Prime Video)
No Reservations follows Catherine Zeta-Jones as a perfectionist, career-oriented chef who becomes the legal guardian of her young niece (Abigail Breslin) after her sister passes away. While it becomes more of a workplace romantic comedy when a new sous-chef threatens to take over her kitchen by shaking things up (sounds familiar?), it follows a lot of the same beats of how much we give ourselves to our work over our loved ones. Where to Watch: Prime Video
4. Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (Max)
There’s no one who did it like Bourdain. Before his tragic death rocked the culinary world in 2018, this Emmy Award-winning show followed Bourdain around the globe as he journeyed to explore part of the world rarely captured on U.S. TV. As an extension of his acclaimed Travel Channel series No Reservations, along the way he showcased cuisines, cultures, and the people who made them with a passion and respect rarely matched. With amazingly curated stops, you’ll find yourself transported everywhere from Libya and Myanmar, to LA’s Koreatown.
Where to Watch: Max
5. Ratatouille (Disney+)
Want a more wholesome take on kitchen chaos? Look no further than Pixar’s daring (and delicious) tale about a rat named Remy (Patton Oswalt) who has big culinary dreams, and teams up with a socially-awkward dishwasher in his favorite chef’s restaurant, Gusteau’s to achieve them. You won’t get the profanity and near-altercations you would from The Bear, but you will feel the fast-paced stress of a dinner service in a fine French restaurant, and similar themes on found family. Where to Watch: Disney+
