About The Bear
- Released on June 23, 2022
The Bear is a captivating drama series that revolves around Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto, a young and accomplished fine-dining chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to take over his family's sandwich shop following a tragic and unexpected death in the family. Carmy is played by Jeremy Allen White, who delivers a powerful and nuanced performance as a chef grappling with the weight of his family's legacy while trying to bring his own unique culinary vision to life.
In addition to Carmy, the show features a diverse and dynamic cast of characters, including Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard 'Richie' Jerimovich, Carmy's brash and unpredictable cousin who helps run the sandwich shop. Richie is a force to be reckoned with, and his chemistry with Carmy is one of the driving forces of the show. As Carmy and Richie work together to transform the sandwich shop, they must navigate their complicated family history and learn to trust each other in order to succeed.
Surrounding Carmy and Richie is a rough-around-the-edges crew of employees who ultimately become Carmy's chosen family. From the tough-talking but big-hearted prep cook Sydney (played by Ayo Edebiri) to the mysterious and enigmatic dishwasher Marcus (played by Lionel Boyce), each character in The Bear is fully realized and brings their own unique energy to the show. As Carmy works to transform the sandwich shop, he also learns to connect with his employees on a deeper level, forming bonds that will last a lifetime. With its compelling characters, sharp writing, and stunning cinematography, The Bear is a must-watch for fans of drama and culinary arts alike.
