FX has made the extremely sensible decision to “let it rip” and allow us another season of panicking alongside Carmy and his fellow chefs. Eric Schrier, FX Entertainment President, announced that the network has ordered a second season of “The Bear,” which will continue to stream exclusively on Hulu. He added,

“The Bear has exceeded our wildest creative, critical, and commercial expectations. We deeply appreciate the brilliant work led by Creator and Co-Showrunner Christopher Storer and Co-Showrunner Joanna Calo. Jeremy Allen White’s lead performance is spectacular, as are those of his co-stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, and Liza Colón-Zayas. We can’t wait to get to work on season 2.”

Finally, we have the reassurance that all our big questions will eventually get answers: how drastically will the upcoming renovations change the restaurant? Will they finally get that new mixer? Will we ever find out how Mikey resealed all those cans? After conquering the world of chocolate cake and the tricky donut beast, what pasty will Marcus pursue next? All these questions and more will finally be answered when “The Bear” returns with its second season. But much more importantly, we’ll get to see the next chapter of this family-run restaurant. During his profile with GQ, Jeremy Allen White said aloud what the season finale of “The Bear” makes very clear: “the whole first season feels almost like a prelude to what the show actually is.”
