If you're anything like me (read: burning your kitchen down when making a salad, just like in The Sims while also enjoying some quality shows), you'll be delighted to hear that The Bear has been renewed for season 3. I'll leave a generous tip for that! Nothing better than drama, comedy and good food.

Television and food enthusiasts alike are highly anticipating season 3, and the wait shall soon be over. If you've somehow ended up here without knowing what the hell I'm talking about, here's a quick starter guide: Following the death of his brother, the young chef Carmy leaves the fine dining world to run The Bear, a sandwich shop in Chicago. Drama ensues. You'll have to watch the rest yourself, and I highly encourage you to do so!

The Bear Season 3: Release Date & Teaser

The Bear follows its own tradition of a June release yet again, and the release date has finally been confirmed: We're gonna get back to cooking on June 27 with The Bear season 3! We're looking at the longest season yet and binge-watchers will be delighted to hear that we'll get all ten episodes at once.

We've also got a first look with the teaser. It doesn't give all that much away, but Carmy's sad, sad eyes always get me:

According to showrunner Christopher Storer, he already has special plans for season 3. In an interview with Esquire, he spilled the beans (get it? Food joke?) about how Ayo Edebiri (who plays Sydney in the show) will be directing a few episodes for the upcoming season.

The Bear would be nothing without its fantastic staff, and the show would be nothing without the actors bringing the restaurant to life (and the dramedy to the screens).

Of course, Jeremy Allen White returns as Carmy and Abby Elliot reprises her role as Natalie. We hope Molly Gordon will return as Claire, as her character and Carmy have a relationship to fix. Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Ayo Edebiri have been confirmed to return as Richie and Sydney. But the extended cast, like Lionel Boyce and Liza Colón-Zayas as Marcus and Tina need to keep The Bear going as well.

As Donna's issues are quite concerning in the season 2 finale, it's pretty save to say that Jamie Lee Curtis will reprise her role as well – there's lots of stuff for Donna to fix and Curtis did an amazing job portraying that character.

For the time being, though, let's all raise our glasses to the renewal of The Bear! Rest assured that we'll keep you updated on the latest news.
