A modest Italian beef sandwich shop transforms when you watch The Bear season 2 on Hulu. Yes, chef, one of the breakout shows of 2022 is back one year later, as Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and his work-family — plus lifelong friend Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) who talks like he's a cousin — are finally building the titular restaurant.
The Bear season 2 hits Hulu Thursday (June 22).
Time: 12:01 a.m. ET / 9:01 p.m. (Wed) PT / 5:01 a.m. BST / 3:01 p.m. AEDT
Where: Hulu (U.S.) and — later — Disney Plus (internationally)
Creating The Bear won't come easy, though. We already know the team is running out of cash, but everyone's got something to prove. Take Sydney (Ayo Edibiri), who is trying to make sure she's a pivotal part of this new restaurant. Formerly, she was just Carmy's pick to revive the aging shop, and an interloper to the staff. Now, she wants to be top brass.
Does that mean pushing someone else out? Richie, of course, sees the switch from the old to the new as a threat to his position in the team. Can he fit into the elevated dining world that Carmy and Syd aim to bring The Bear to?
There's also the big meta question of whether the staff of The Bear will be taken seriously in this new world. Customers who pay more expect more in terms of hospitality, as do investors.
