Order up! FX’s critically-acclaimed original series The Bear is returning for Season 2, and you won’t want to miss a moment of Carmy, Syd, Richie, and the rest of the kitchen crew’s transformational journeys.

The Season 1 finale of Christopher Storer’s sizzling series about a grieving chef who returns home after his brother’s suicide to manage the family restaurant ended with The Original Beef of Chicagoland’s culinary team uncovering hidden riches in sauce cans, deciding to renovate the old sandwich joint, and setting their sights on a new restaurant called The Bear.

The Bear Season 2 will show major renovation processes both in and outside of the kitchen, as characters not only work to rebuild the restaurant, but to better themselves as chefs and human beings. 

FX’s official Season 2 description is as follows: “As they strip the restaurant down to its bones, the crew undertakes transformational journeys of their own, each forced to confront the past and reckon with who they want to be in the future. Of course, it turns out the only thing harder than running a restaurant is opening a new one, and the team must juggle the insane bureaucracy of permits and contractors with the beauty and creative agony of menu planning. The transition brings a newfound focus on hospitality as well. As the entire staff is forced to come together in new ways, pushing the boundaries of their abilities and relationships, they also learn what it means to be in service, both to diners and each other.”
