The Bear season 3: recaps, cast and everything we know about the show
Get some more time with the cousins and the rest of the team at The Bear, as The Bear season 3 is here. After The Bear season 1 was nominated for 13 Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series, for The Emmys 2023 (it's a whole scheduling thing we explain in the guide), and after the reception of The Bear season 2, we'd expect more to follow for that one. That's a lot for The Bear season 3 to live up to, but this group lives for the pressure.
Few TV shows have hit in recent years like The Bear. Though officially classified as a comedy (and with plenty of funny moments), The Bear is just as capable of hitting you with some powerful emotional moments with an ensemble that you quickly grow to love. Throw in the mouth-watering food that is being prepared and it is a TV-viewing feast.
Here is everything that we know right now about The Bear season 3.

The Bear season 3 plot
You can read our The Bear season 2 ending explained piece to get a breakdown of the biggest things from the season 2 finale, but here's the official synopsis for The Bear season 3:
"Season three of FX’s The Bear follows Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) and Richard 'Richie' Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they do what it takes to elevate The Bear, their beef stand turned fine dining establishment, to the highest level, all while doing their best just to stay in business. 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."
