FX’s “The Bear” is just getting started since the first season’s premiere on June 23, 2022. FX renewed the hit show for a second season after viewers ate up the first eight episodes and a third as the story came to a satisfying sizzle in Season 2.
Praise for creator Christopher Storer’s culinary creation comes from fans all over — including former or current restaurant industry workers, chefs, and those that keep up with pop culture. Other major themes that “The Bear” tackles include masculinity and the success and failure of fine dining.
Those hungering for more of the show as well as those who haven’t yet watched it and are just now hearing about it from its domination at the 75th Emmys for Season 1 might be wondering how to watch “The Bear.” Here are the ingredients you need:
When Did “The Bear” Come Out?
All eight episodes of Season 1 of “The Bear” were released on June 23, 2022, and it didn’t take long for the fans to line up out the door. Season 2 of the Michelin star story arrived a year later on June 22, 2023.
