Jeremy Allen White in "The Bear"Chef Carmy is bringing the heat back to the kitchen.
On Thursday, May 8, Jeremy Allen White shared a teaser from The Bear’s hotly anticipated third season, which is set to premiere June 27.
In the video, Carmy — dressed in chef's whites — returns to the restaurant’s kitchen alone and unpacks his knives before looking directly into the camera. The clip then zooms out to the Chicago skyline.

As fans may recall, season 2 of the Emmy-winning series left off with Carmy locked in a walk-in fridge during the restaurant’s Friends and Family Night, so the teaser seemingly confirms he escaped and is back in action.
According to an official synopsis from FX, season 3 of The Bear will chronicle Carmy, Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) and Richard “Richie” Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as "they do what it takes to elevate The Bear, their beef stand turned fine dining establishment, to the highest level, all while doing their best just to stay in business."
"It’s a losing battle every single day in the restaurant business," the description continues. "Carmy pushes himself harder than ever, and demands excellence from his crew, who do their best to match his intensity."
"Their quest for culinary excellence will propel the crew to new levels and stress the bonds that hold the restaurant together," the description concludes. "As the team grows in size, each member will strive to reach a greater level of service within their role. In the restaurant industry, you’re never on solid ground, and with that ever-changing landscape comes new challenges and opportunities. Our chefs have learned that every second counts, but this season we’ll find out if they have what it takes to make it to tomorrow."
Deadline reported in March that the cast will film a subsequent fourth season back-to-back with the third. Production began in Chicago in February, and the third season is set to debut on FX and Hulu in June.
In December, White, 33, revealed that shooting would begin in February during an interview on the Today show, as he said, "I'm going to get together with some chefs in January and start prepping in the kitchen again, sharpening up the skills.”
It’s a practice he’s done before. He told Gold Derby in June that he “spent a lot of time as a fly on the wall” at a French restaurant in Santa Monica prior to the show’s first season in order to gain some real-life experience in the kitchen.

“I’d help them prep where you can’t really screw up anything too badly,” he told the outlet, before sharing that on one particularly “busy night,” the restaurant’s chef told him to “start cooking” and he was “so, so scared.”
The experience shaped how he sees restaurants now, he said. “I just started looking at restaurants as little miracles. It’s such a difficult and competitive world to enter.”
White’s costars got in some prep work, too. Courtney Storer, the show’s culinary producer, told PEOPLE that Ayo Edebiri, who plays aspiring chef Sydney, came to visit her in L.A. before shooting began on season 1 to learn a thing or two.
"She really got to see how I move, how I navigate in a space, how I prep things, how I prioritize. I talked a lot to her about confidence, carrying my shoulders, how I move, to kind of get respect or have this position of leadership," Storer said of Edebiri’s time in the kitchen with her.
"I think I was always really tiny in a space, and I could feel really small and I had to find ways to use my voice to get attention," she added. "So we spent a lot of time on that."
