Disney confirms UK release date for The Bear season 2 - how to watch and full cast

UK fans of the comedy-drama series The Bear can finally breathe a sigh of relief as Disney has confirmed when the second season of the show will drop. They also revealed that all 10 episodes of the FX show would drop at the same time.

The Bear took streaming services by storm when it dropped last year and went on to become one of the top series of 2022. Following its drop it was picked up for a second season just one month later much to the delight of fans.

Christopher Storer, and executive producer Joanna Calo, also said: “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.”

Season two will follow Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) and Richard “Richie” Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they work to transform their grimy sandwich joint into a next-level spot. As they strip the restaurant down to its bones, the crew undertake transformational journeys of their own, each forced to confront the past and reckon with who they want to be in the future.

The critically acclaimed series racked up numerous awards in its first season, including being honoured as an AFI TV Program of the Year, as well as a WGA Award, PGA Award, Film Independent Spirit Award, American Cinema Editors Award and ACE Eddie Award. Jeremy Allen White also won the comedy acting award from the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Critics Choice Awards.
