Season three of The Bear is being released one day earlier than planned.
The award-winning kitchen drama was originally due to premiere on Hulu and FX this Thursday (June 27). Now, Hulu has updated the release to Wednesday (June 26) at 9pm ET (2am BST).
That means fans can also expect Disney+ to drop the episodes in international territories, including the UK, at the same time.
The popular comedy-drama – which has been hailed a huge commercial and critical success since its premiere two years ago – stars Jeremy Allen White as a chef who returns to manage his late brother’s chaotic sandwich shop in Chicago.
Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach also star in the show, which debuted in 2022 and returned for a second season in 2023. It’s since racked up 10 Emmy and four Golden Globes, including Best Performance awards for stars Allen White and Edebiri.
All 10 episodes of the new season are due to be released on the same day.
The trailer for season three arrived back in May, as things pick back up with Carmy and co. after opening the new revamped restaurant for friends and family – while questions still remain unanswered in his personal life.
In a four-star review of the second season of The Bear, NME wrote: “Rather than hone in on Carmy and his struggles, these new episodes develop the other characters further and give them a chance to grow…It’s another intense ride, but it’s served up so deliciously, you’ll definitely be craving more come the end.”
Meanwhile, Moss-Bachrach wants fans to stop shouting his nickname “Cousin” at him.
“I get a lot of comments. People yell ‘Cousin!’ at me all day,” he told The Guardian. “Sometimes, you know, you’re just not having a great day. And it’s just like: I’m sorry, man, I don’t have much for you.”
The first two seasons of The Bear are streaming now on Disney+.
