Fans of the hit Chicago-based FX show “The Bear” won’t have to wait much longer for its return.
If there’s any sign of how fan reception will be, even one of the show’s lead actors, Jeremy Allen White, revealed that he’s watched most of the new season.
“It’s so good,” he said in a recent interview.
The third season of the critically acclaimed series premieres Thursday, June 27, according to a teaser video previously released by White.
The teaser shows White’s character, Carmy, alone in the kitchen in the middle of the night, looking at a camera overlooking DuSable Lake Shore Drive and the Chicago skyline.
During an appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” White explained that he recently got his hands on the season. White explained that he had a lot of trouble watching himself on camera, explaining that “it’s very difficult.”
But things were different this time.
“But I have to say that I started watching the screening… I usually wait a very long time or don’t watch at all, but I started and I watched seven episodes in one sitting because it It’s like it’s so good.
White said “The Bear” showrunner “continues to play with the structure of what television could be.”
“I feel like Season 1 was so different from Season 2, and Season 3 is even weirder and more joyful and angsty,” he said.
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.
