The chefs of The Bear are opening up their restaurant earlier than expected. Hulu has announced that it’s pushing up the premiere of The Bear’s highly anticipated third season, dropping all 10 episodes exclusively on Hulu at 9:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, June 26—three hours earlier than originally scheduled.
Along with the early-bird special, the series’ stars have clarified the status of the onscreen relationship between head chef Carmy Berzatto (played by Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White) and sous chef Sydney Adamu (played by Emmy-winner Ayo Edebiri). At a recent press conference, White and Edebiri said that Carmy and Sydney are not destined to be a couple. “There was no talk in the rooms about any romantic implications” between the characters, said White.
“Carmy is somebody that I think she’s really looked up to, but now is sort of in the thick of doing business with,” added Edebiri. “It’s, I think, a lot more chaotic than she might have idealized before they really started working together.”
So, if not romance, what will TV’s favorite chefs be cooking up in The Bear season three? Here’s everything we know about the next course.
When will The Bear season three actually premiere?
Chefs, it’s time to sharpen those knives. All episodes of The Bear’s third season hit Hulu on Wednesday, June 26.
In a teaser trailer released May 9, Carmy walks into an empty kitchen and begins to unwrap his precious knives. The camera zooms in on a concerned-looking Carmy and his icy blue eyes before zooming out to capture his restaurant, The Bear, and the city of Chicago at night.

Where will we be able to watch season three of The Bear?
In the United States, The Bear will air on Hulu (and Hulu via Disney+), while it’s on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ everywhere else.
Internationally, Disney+ will drop all 10 episodes simultaneously at the newly announced time in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Gibraltar, the Balkans, Singapore, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Egypt, and select countries in the Middle East. Season three of The Bear will launch in all other territories at a later date.
Who will be in The Bear season three?
As a workplace dramedy that relies heavily on its ensemble, The Bear isn’t likely to be the kind of show that jettisons characters without warning. In November, FX entertainment president Nick Grad specifically singled out stars White, Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, so if for some reason you were worried, they’ll definitely be back. So will Abby Elliott’s Natalie, Lionel Boyce’s Marcus, Liza Colón-Zayas’s Tina, Edwin Lee Gibson’s Ebraheim, and Matty Matheson’s Fak. Then there’s Oliver Platt as Uncle Jimmy, who earned an Emmy nomination alongside White, Edebiri, and Moss-Bachrach for the show’s first season, and will almost certainly do the same for the second. The season three trailer seemed to confirm the return of Jon Bernthal, who was also Emmy-nominated for the first season and got an even bigger spotlight in the season two flashback episode “Fishes.”
