The Bear season 2: preview
When it debuted in June 2022, The Bear electrified the TV landscape like Gordon Ramsey prowling through an underperforming restaurant. Starring Jeremy Allen White as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, an award-winning chef returning home to help run the family’s ramshackle deli joint in Chicago, this frenetic depiction of the food service industry became the FX network’s most-watched series. Now, it's back for a second helping.
Created and executive produced by Christopher Storer (Ramy, Eighth Grade), season 1 saw Carmen inherit The Original Beef of Chicagoland after the suicide of his estranged brother Michael (Jon Bernthal) and the burdensome problems of that dysfunctional business: sloppy management, insubordinate staff, and a tonne of debt.
As both Carmy and new hire Sydney (played by Ayo Edebiri) found out, working there requires every ounce of ingenuity and culinary skill to keep The Beef – and themselves – from going under.
After a juicy revelation in the series finale, Carmy, his sister Natalie (Abby Elliott), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas), and pastry chef Marcus (Lionel Boyce) are now ready to transform The Beef into the destination restaurant of their dreams. Renamed The Bear, it’s a rebirth demanding total renovation, investment, upskilling their staff, and devising an utterly mouth-watering new menu, all in 6-months’ time and without losing their goddam minds.
Plus, this season's introduction of Molly Gordon (You People) as a former flame of Carmy’s, Will Poulter (The Revenant) as a Copenhagen-based chef, and Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) in an undisclosed role, are bound to add spicy new notes to an already delicious drama. Indeed, it's one of 9 TV shows coming to Hulu that you won't want to miss.
