Recent reports indicate that the popular dark comedy series featuring Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach is set to return for another season, likely airing in 2025. Despite attempts to reach out to FX for confirmation on the renewal, no response has been received.
Currently, the cast is busy filming season 3 on location in Chicago, a renewal that was initially announced back in November. Their recent success during awards season, including securing 10 Emmy Awards for their debut season, has brought them considerable acclaim. Notable wins include Best Lead Actor for Jeremy Allen White, Best Supporting Actress for Ayo Edebiri, and Outstanding Comedy Series.
News of the renewal follows reports from local Illinois media outlets indicating that the show, created by Christopher Storer, is filming additional episodes. While some sources suggest these episodes belong to season 3, others speculate they may be for an upcoming season 4.
After experiencing delays due to strikes from the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA, the much-anticipated third season is slated to premiere on FX and Hulu in June. FX Chairman John Landgraf confirmed this timeline at a recent Television Critics Association event, reaffirming the network's commitment to maintaining the binge-watching format for the series.
Landgraf expressed pride and excitement in announcing the return of the Emmy-winning show, which centers around the narrative of Carmy Berzatto, a chef who returns home to revitalize his family's struggling sandwich shop in Chicago. Working alongside sous chef Sydney, portrayed by Ayo Edebiri, the duo faces challenges and conflicts while striving to achieve success. Season 2 sees them collaborating with the kitchen staff to launch a new upscale restaurant, The Bear.
With the upcoming Emmy nominations, the series is expected to receive further recognition, particularly for its special Christmas episode featuring appearances from notable actors such as Bob Odenkirk, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Paulson, John Mulaney, and Gillian Jacobs.
