Are you ready for another helping?
Jeremy Allen White won over critics and viewers alike in season one of The Bear, and he's just about ready to re-open for business. That's because the new teaser out March 13 revealed a season two premiere date set for June.
In the clip, his character Carmy teases what's to come as the Chicago kitchen staff says goodbye to The Beef—the restaurant within the show—and hello to fine dining. He can be heard saying via voiceover, "Family style, two-tops, booths."
White's co-stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Edwin Lee Gibson, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson and Ayo Edebiri can also be seen hard at work in the video, to varying degrees of success.
Additionally, a new sign on the restaurant door reads, "The Beef is closed. Thank you for your patronage."
That means Carmy's quest to upgrade from The Beef to The Bear thanks to all that cash hidden in the cans of tomatoes is clearly in full effect, as seen in the season one finale.
"The Bear is about food, family, the insanity of the grind, the beauty of Sense of Urgency and the steep slippery downsides," the show's synopsis notes. "As the young chef 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."
Series co-showrunner Christopher Storer recently hinted at what's on the menu for the FX on Hulu offering's second course, which he sees as a fresh start.
"It almost feels like season one was sort of, 'Let's catch up,' and season two is sort of like where the show properly begins, once we've met everyone and seen their backstory," he dished at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in January. "So, it's been cool to just expand the world and just learn more about them."
Sit down and enjoy a second round of The Bear, this June on Hulu.
