The Most Talked About Predictions For 'The Bear' On The Internet
It's almost here—season 3 of The Bear. And if you haven't heard, it's premiering earlier than expected, with every episode now dropping on Wednesday, June 26, at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Hulu.
If you're a fan of the show, you've probably spent the past year contemplating what's going to happen in season 3. So in anticipation of the premiere, I've put together some predictions that are likely to come true in one way or another.
Last season we watched the team build The Bear—renovating the space, passing inspections, and creating a menu. It culminated in Friends & Family night, the restaurant's first service—and Carmen (Jeremy Allen White) getting stuck in the walk-in fridge. So this season, we expect to see The Bear up and running and all the mayhem that coincides with keeping a restaurant open.
Using the trailer, online synopsis, episode list, and recent interviews as clues, here are five predictions for season 3.
1. Romance—But Not What You Think
While fans have wanted a romance to ignite between Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and Carmen, that's out of the cards. According to Vanity Fair, both actors shut down any speculation about a romance between the two characters this season in a press conference. This leaves two potential romances to flourish based on previous seasons.
Claire (Molly Gordon) returns in season 3, and the trailer shows a few clips alluding to her relationship with Carmy in season 2. It appears we'll find out what happens between these two on Thursday.
There was also some tension between Syd and Marcus (Lionel Boyce) last season. In the same press conference Edebiri told Vanity Fair that there's "probably not" any potential for love between the two characters, but "you'll have to watch."
2. Syd and Carmy's Partnership Grows
From the trailer, we know that Syd and Carmy are going to enter into some sort of more formal business partnership in season 3. "It is a partnership agreement, so that you can push me and I can push you," Carmy says in the trailer. But the clips following hint at a bit of tension or apprehension on Syd's end.
3. Non-Negotiables Are Going To Cause Tension
In the season 3 trailer, Carmy introduces a list of "non-negotiables," which he said is "how restaurants at the highest level operate." Some of these include vibrant collaboration, less is more, pursuit of excellence, and changing the menu every day. Some of the staff seem to make fun or question the list, and we can only assume this will cause some tension.
4. There Will Be A Funeral
The last episode of the season is titled Forever and has the description "Another funeral." This leads us to assume that there's going to be a funeral or at least metaphorical end of some kind.
5. There Will Be A Lot Of Cooking
The show is about a restaurant, so there will obviously be cooking. But the last season was less about the kitchen and more about getting The Bear ready to open.
Last month we wrote about Jeremy Allen White's interview with Variety, where he talked about what will happen in season 3. "[F]or the second season, so much of it was about putting the restaurant together, so there wasn’t that much cooking. But now, in the third season, I think we’re going to go back to that functioning kitchen atmosphere that we had in the first," he told Variety.
In preparation for the new season, he added that he would naturally be spending a lot of time with chefs and cooking.
