FX has renewed its hit half-hour series starring Jeremy Allen White for a third season.
Season 2 of “The Bear” followed Carmy (White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they worked to transform their grimy sandwich joint into a next-level spot for fine dining. The cast also includes Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott and Matty Matheson.
