One of the most successful original drama series to be released from FX in the past few years has been “The Bear”, which has pulled in record viewership on Hulu and Disney+ around the world, in addition to winning lots of awards.

The series tells the story of Carmy, a young fine-dining chef who comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop. As he fights to transform the shop and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges crew that ultimately reveals themselves as his chosen family.

“The Bear” stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, along with Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas and Matty Matheson, with Edwin Lee Gibson, Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon. 

During a presentation at the Television Critics Association, FX boss John Landgraf confirmed that the third season of “The Bear” will be coming out this June.  As with previous season releases, the entire new season will drop at once on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States.  The series will also be released on Disney+ around the world, though it’s unknown if the international release will follow the US release schedule.

John Landgraf explained the decision to keep the show to a binge drop:

“We all watched the first season and it wasn’t lost on me or anyone else who worked on the show that it’s a little anxiety inducing to watch that show and anxiety inducing are not the adjectives typically associated with hit television shows and Emmy awards. So we made a decision that we would drop the whole thing because for those of you who saw it, it has a really beautiful, very uplifting ending.

When we came back for Season 2, we debated, since we knew now that we had a hit, can we milk it a little bit? Can we roll it out over weeks, more Bear is better? We then thought that’s a rotten thing to do, to change it up for the audience. The way that Chris makes it, even though the episodes are separate, there’s a whole vibe to every season so we decided not to change what we had already set in motion and I have no doubt that we’ll keep doing it because we did it in the past. Even if we could, I don’t think we’d change it now,”

FX’s “The Bear” was created by Christopher Storer (Ramy, Eighth Grade), who acts as executive producer alongside Joanna Calo (BoJack Horseman, Undone), Hiro Murai (Atlanta, Station Eleven) of Super Frog, Josh Senior and Matty Matheson, with Tyson Bidner (Ramy) serving as producer. The series is produced by FX Productions.

The first two seasons of “The Bear” are available to stream now on Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States, Star+ in Latin America and on Disney+ around the world.
