Production on the new season 3 is currently well underway in Chicago, and while the cast is keeping tight-lipped about major story points, White revealed what to expect from Carmy going forward, saying that her character is “happy.” He admitted that he was hoping for an “end.”
He told Deadline: “I think that's all I really wanted: for him to learn how to understand himself a little better, appreciate what he has, and then find peace.”
For him, he admits that the series is about “how to overcome loneliness and how to deal with it,” adding, “It's about how to find a sense of belonging, how to communicate, how to connect. I hope that the feelings of those who are enjoying the event will be alleviated even a little.” “I think a lot of the show is about found family and the connection that we're all always looking for.”

FX head John Landgraf confirmed (via Deadline) that the series will resume that month, with all episodes released at the same time.

A UK release date for the series has yet to be confirmed, but we don't expect to wait too long for a US release. However, we do know that The Bear will likely launch on Disney Plus in the UK, just like the previous season.
'The Bear' season 3 cast predictions

Over the course of two seasons, The Bear has become synonymous with Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), so it's no exaggeration to say that it would be an uproar if more of the series' main characters didn't reprise their roles. isn't it. White and Edebiri are expected to reprise their roles, along with Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who played Richie, who received some serious character development in season two.
We hope the rest of the gang returns in season 3. Especially the last time I saw the team, everyone was working together to make sure The Bear's opening went off without a hitch. Lionel Boyce as pastry chef Marcus, Abby Elliott as Natalie (aka Sugar), Carmy's sister and The Bear's manager, and Liza Colon-Zayas as Tina, an avid learner who plays a real-life chef. 's Matty Matheson is expected to return as Neil Fack.
It's completely unclear whether Carmy will be able to rekindle his relationship with Claire (Molly Gordon) after Season 2 ends, but perhaps we might see his romantic interest return. .
The second season is positively star-studded, with episodes of Fishes starring Sarah Paulson as cousin Michelle, John Mulaney as partner Stevie, and Jamie Lee Curtis as matriarch Donna Barzat. , Bob Odenkirk, who played Uncle Lee, and others appeared.
As if that wasn't enough, Olivia Colman made a surprise appearance on Folks as Chef Terry, and Will Poulter also appeared as Copenhagen's Top Chef Luca. So could we see these faces return?
Now, according to White (via Deadline), the actor “wants to see as many Season 3 episodes as possible.” [guest stars] I’ll be back for just one day,” as in “Fishes.” White also told Deadline that he would like to see Chef Terry from Coleman return and that he would like to see Curtis return as Mama Donna.
The following cast members are expected to return for Season 3 of The Bear:
Jeremy Allen White (Carmen “Carmy” Berzat) Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richard Richie Jerimovich) Ayo Edebiri (Sydney Adam) Lionel Boyce (Marcus) Riza Colon-Zayas (as Tina) Abby Elliott (as Natalie “Sugar” Berzat) Edwin Lee Gibson (as Ebraheim) Matty Matheson (as Neil Fack) Oliver Platt (as Jimmy Cicero) Olly Gordon as Claire
Recently, fans have been wondering if Will Poulter will be able to return to the series. discovered by a fan I work in the kitchen of Pasjoli, a Michelin-starred French bistro in Santa Monica, California. Under the tutelage of head chef Dave Beran, Pajoli was the exact same kitchen that White trained in in preparation for season 1, so could it be more than a coincidence?
Poulter's sighting at the restaurant has sparked all sorts of Reddit fan theories and speculation about Poulter's role in season 3, considering his character Luca once worked with Carmy. hand. Some fans have floated the theory that Carmy will take some time off from the restaurant and call in Luca to help, but nothing has been confirmed at this time.
What will Season 3 of The Bear be about?

Speaking at the recent SAG Awards, Matti Matheson said production was “going very well. It's been better than usual,” and that the cast is “heads down and full of hearts” for season three. He said he is keeping it.
He added: “We came back to Chicago, and the weather was kind of nice. [we have] Big script and big scenes. The camera is on and ready to go. ”
There's a lot of room for speculation as to what those “big scenes” will be. In the season 2 finale of The Bear, the opening of a famous restaurant ended in major trouble. So Carmy gets locked in the fridge and while she's in the fridge she admits she doesn't need to be in a relationship and she says, He is “the best” without any distractions.
However, he shouts this out to Tina, but Tina doesn't respond, and instead Claire leaves Carmy a voicemail confessing her love and leaves the restaurant in tears.
As for what this means for them, White admitted to Deadline after winning the Golden Globes: “I have no idea, but as someone who has read the script and watched the show, I think Jeremy deserves at least an apology.'' I think.'' So when I read the script again, I wish I had that version. ”
As for season 3's kitchen scenes, we can expect more of a “functional kitchen feel” like the tense first outing of the series. White told Variety magazine: “To tell you the truth, I think they've written some scripts. I haven't read anything. I know we're going to be spending a lot of time together in January.” I think a menu will be set up for the restaurant.
“And I know we're going to start putting together menus with different chefs and dishes, and trying to get ready to do more things like that in front of the camera. Before the first season, we all… I did a lot of preparation: I went to culinary school and spent a lot of time in restaurants and things like that.
“And in the second season, it was a big part of putting the restaurant together, so there wasn't a lot of cooking. But now, in the third season, I think we're going to go back to that functional kitchen.” The atmosphere. ”
The season 2 finale also saw Sid and Marcus work through some serious awkwardness after Marcus tried to ask Sid out on a date earlier on that fateful day, but things took a sad turn at the end of the episode. is. It turns out that he missed numerous calls from Marcus. It means that he was his sick mother's nurse and perhaps she died, and the impact of such an event will certainly have a big impact on his character in the new series. .
Recently, Sharp-eyed fan of X (formerly known as Twitter) shared a filming notice for Marcus' mother's street location in the series, potentially supporting the sad theory that Marcus may have died in the final episode of season 2. there is.
Things seemed to be fixed for Marcus and Sid, but the finale brought a big turn for Sid. She heads up the kitchen in Carmy's absence and wins the approval of her skeptical father, played by Robert Townsend. Regarding what's next for her character in Season 3, Edebiri said, “I love the idea of Sydney finding more confidence and belief in herself, but it's also fun to play someone who is flawed and a little messed up.”
As of now, there is no word on whether Curtis will return as Carmie and Sugar's mother Donna, but after missing the opening night of her family and friends at the restaurant for fear of ruining it. Looks like there's a lot to reconcile.
She also subconsciously found out about her daughter's pregnancy, which she wasn't told about, so depending on how season 3 plays out, Sugar's pregnancy could play some role in season 3's restaurant plans.
