The Bear

Storyline

Created by Christopher Storer, FX on Hulu's culinary comedy-drama sensation The Bear took television by storm, winning 21 Primetime Emmy Awards and becoming a cultural tour de force. Jeremy Allen White delivers a raw, volcanic, and deeply vulnerable performance as Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto, an elite, James Beard Award-winning fine dining chef who leaves Michelin-starred restaurants in New York to return home to Chicago to take over The Original Beef of Chicagoland following the tragic suicide of his older brother Mikey. Inheriting mountains of debt, a decaying kitchen, and a stubborn, resistant kitchen crew, Carmy hires ambitious young culinary institute graduate Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri in an Emmy-winning breakthrough) as his sous chef, while clashing with Mikey's hot-headed, insecure best friend Richie Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach in an extraordinary redemption arc). Known for its breathless, heart-stopping culinary panic, realistic depictions of generational trauma and addiction, and historic virtuoso filmmaking (including Season 1's uninterrupted 18-minute single-take episode and Season 2's star-studded family Christmas episode 'Fishes'), The Bear captured global reverence for its message that 'every second counts.'
