The second season of FX’s smash-hit series, “The Bear”, is due to arrive on our screens in June, and the show’s creator, Christopher Storer, has revealed on social media that Molly Gordon has joined the cast in a key recurring role.

“The Bear” follows Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a young chef from the fine dining world, who comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop – The Original Beef of Chicagoland – after a heartbreaking death in his family. A world away from what he’s used to, Carmy must balance the soul-crushing realities of small business ownership, his strong-willed and recalcitrant kitchen staff and his strained familial relationships, all while grappling with the impact of his brother’s suicide. This series is about food, family, the insanity of the grind, the beauty of Sense of Urgency and the steep slippery downsides. As Carmy fights to transform both The Original Beef of Chicagoland and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges kitchen crew that ultimately reveal themselves as his chosen family.

No details have been revealed about what role Molly Gordon will be playing. Molly has previously starred in “Shiva Baby”, “Booksmart”, and “You People”. She will also be starring in the upcoming Searchlight Pictures film, “Theater Camp”.

The show also stars Jeremy Allen White (Shameless), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“Richard ‘Richie’ Jerimovich”), Ayo Edebiri (“Sydney Adamu”), Abby Elliott (“Natalie ‘Sugar’ Berzatto”), Lionel Boyce (“Marcus”), Liza Colón-Zayas (“Tina”), Edwin Lee Gibson (“Ebraheim”), Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad) and Matty Matheson (“Neil Fak”).

“The Bear” was created by Christopher Storer (Ramy, Eighth Grade), who also serves as Co-Showrunner, Executive Producer, Writer and Director alongside Co-Showrunner, Executive Producer, Writer and Director Joanna Calo (BoJack Horseman, Undone). Hiro Murai (Atlanta, Station Eleven) and Nate Matteson (Station Eleven, The Choe Show) of Super Frog and Josh Senior also serve as Executive Producers. The series is produced by FX Productions.

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