Season 3 of “The Bear” is coming – but not when many expected it.
The hit Chicago-based show, which gave new meaning to the words “Yes, Chef,” is set to premiere this week, but it appears the launch will be sooner than expected.
The third season of the series was originally scheduled to launch on June 27, but new episodes are now scheduled for 8 p.m. Central Time on Wednesday, June 26, according to Eater Chicago.
The third season of the critically acclaimed series will center on title character Carmy, played by Jeremy Allen White, and his kitchen team as they finally open the new five-star restaurant, The bearto the public – “we’re a long way from the greasy spoon dinner that launched the series,” according to Hulu.
The series won 10 Emmy Awards in January, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for White and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Edebiri.
The announcement of the new season comes a little more than a month after the series filmed in Chicago, with work taking place in the city’s Near North Side neighborhood.
