Looks like another season of The Bear is firing up, and it's just around the corner.

The FX-to-Hulu gritty dramedy stars Shameless alum Jeremy Allen White as the fictional culinary prodigy Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto. In the wake of his older brother (Jon Bernthal)'s untimely passing, Carmy returns to suburban Chicago to run his inherited Italian beef sandwich shop, flanked by a group of rough-around-the-edges cooks, including familiar faces Girls' Ebon Moss-Bachrach (read: Cousin). The Michelin-star chef strives to fix the frenetic pressure cooker of a restaurant while coming to terms with his late brother's death.

After just one season of eight episodes on Hulu, it's already made a major splash. The series and cast have racked up top honors ever since. That includes Jeremy picking up a Golden Globe, SAG Award and Critics Choice Award for his performance. No doubt, there are more accolades to be claimed ahead.

So, here's all we know about The Bear season 2.

Will there be a season 2 of The Bear?

Yes, Jeff Chef. FX officially renewed a second season of The Bear just one month after its smashing summer premiere. “The Bear has exceeded our wildest creative, critical and commercial expectations,” FX Entertainment President Eric Schrier said in a statement. “We can’t wait to get to work on season 2.”

When is The Bear season 2 release date?

Order up! The Bear season 2 will officially hit Hulu in June 2023. While the 95th Annual Academy Awards aired, a teaser dropped on FX's YouTube with the caption, "It's not a reopening, it's a rebirth."

The video showed The Beef closing up shop as the head chef is heard envisioning the new restaurant. "Family style? Two tops? Booths?" As the teaser wraps up, Sydney asks Carmy, "What do you call it?"

A hand-written note hanging on the Chicagoland restaurant's door reads, "The Beef is closed. Thank you for your patronage," followed by "The Bear" and its release date, hinting at the restaurant's name change.

No full report just yet on that exact premiere date, but all eight episodes hit the streamer on June 23, 2022, last season. In the meantime, hit “save” at the top of this page and circle back later to this later when The Bear drops the next trailer.

What's more, showrunners and executive producers Christopher Storer and Joanna Calo expressed their excitement to bring it back to audiences. Guess what? That also includes two more episodes, rounding out season 2 with 10 episodes, Variety reported.

“We are so grateful to FX, our insanely talented cast, our crew who worked hard, fast and in the dead of winter, not to mention everyone who watched. And we can’t wait to bring you all back to The Bear in 2023,” they said in a statement.

Who can we expect in The Bear season 2 cast?

What's a family dinner without Carmy, cousin and crew? Unless the showrunners decide to revisit casting, the kitchen's just heating up for season 1's original lineup. The teaser offers a peek at the returning stars, so prep yourselves to see the following:

• Jeremy Allen White as Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto

• Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard ‘Richie’ Jerimovich

• Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu

• Lionel Boyce as Marcus

• Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina

• Abby Elliott as Natalie ‘Sugar’ Berzatto

While missing from the teaser, we can also hope to see Edwin Lee Gibson as Ebraheim and Oliver Platt as Cicero.

ICYMI, that was '80s actress Molly Ringwald herself who made a brief cameo in season 1 episode 3. Though she held a small, yet memorable role as an Al-Anon moderator, she's not confirmed for another season. We can only hope to see more guest appearances crop up in the future.

What is season 2 of The Bear about?

Next season will focus on keeping the charm of the mom-and-pop restaurant while staying afloat. Christopher told TVLine: "It almost feels like season 1 was sort of, 'Let's catch up', and season 2 is sort of like where the show properly begins, once we've met everyone and seen their backstory."

He added: "Season 2, really, it's about balance in a lot of ways, between time and what it means to start fresh and how you can start in a healthy direction."
