The new season of one of the world’s most popular TV shows has launched – and fans are already calling the premiere ‘one of the best episodes of television ever made’.
The release date for The Bear season 3 has finally arrived on Disney Plus, reuniting viewers with beloved characters including talented chefs Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri).
Season two ended with the very chaotic opening of their newly relaunched restaurant when all sorts of mayhem unravelled, despite the night eventually being a professional success.
In the trailer for season three, more bedlam is promised at the newfangled eatery, as all of The Bear’s employees are forced to grapple with a kitchen that’s bursting at the seams with ‘non-negotiable’ new guidelines, while striving to achieve a Michelin star.
The first episode, titled Tomorrow, brings viewers right back to exploring passionate chef Carmy, after his personal life with his girlfriend Claire (Molly Gordon) went up in smoke in season two while he was stuck in a freezer.
Without going into spoilers of exactly what happens… it’s safe to say that people who have already tuned in to watch the premiere have been amazed beyond belief.
Referencing the show’s creator Christopher Storer who directed the episode, X user Johnny wrote: ‘Christopher Storer: so I think to ease everyone into The Bear S3, we just casually drop one of the best episodes of television ever made.’
Johnny then gave a shoutout to series editor Joanna Naugle, adding: ‘Joanna Naugle with the editing MASTERCLASS.’
Matt agreed with the assessment of episode one, writing: ‘Completely blew me away,’ as Aizaz chimed in to say: ‘Good to see that I wasn’t the only one taken aback by the masterpiece.’
Mike couldn’t have given the premiere higher praise, writing: ‘The Bear S3 premiere is one for the history books. This is absolutely monumental television.’
Meanwhile, Gabriel simply stated: ‘One of the most beautiful episodes of all time.’
How many episodes are there in The Bear season 3?
The third season of The Bear consists of 10 episodes, which are all available to stream now on Disney Plus.
The second season also had 10 episodes, while season one was two fewer with eight.
Where is The Bear set?
The Bear is set in Chicago, where Carmy grew up with his family, including his late brother Mikey (Jon Bernthal) who took his own life months before the events of season one.
Following Mikey’s death, Carmy takes over the restaurant The Beef and tries to transform it using the skills he’s picked up through his work at high-end establishments.
Fans of The Bear who want to visit several of the real-life locations featured in the series can do so in the so-called Windy City.
