Premiered on Hulu on June 23, 2022, the comedy-drama television series The Bear tells Carmy, a young fine-dining chef, coming home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop. As he fights to transform the shop and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges crew that ultimately reveal themselves as his chosen family.
The sandwich shop interior is copied from the real-life Chicago shop Mr. Beef on Orleans, in River North. The creator was a frequent patron and friends with the son of the owner.
The Bear was nominated for Best Comedy Series at the Critics’ Choice Awards and Golden Globe Awards. Jeremy Allen White won Best Actor in a Comedy Series at the Critics’ Choice Television Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. Additionally, Ayo Edebiri was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the Critics’ Choice Awards.
The Bear quickly had viewers talking when it premiered. In July 2022, it was renewed for a second season, which is set to premiere on June 22, 2023, and consist of 10 episodes.

White hinted at the larger story that could be explored in season 2. “To me, the whole first season feels almost like a prelude to what the show actually is,” he explained to GQ, noting that the true journey is Carmy opening up his own restaurant.
Bob Odenkirk, who plays criminal defender Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul, will join the second season, but Odenkirk’s role is still under wraps, but he is said to be playing a “guest role” on the show. Molly Gordon (Shiva Baby) will also be joining the second season. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until the season premiere in June to see how this all changes.
Hulu is only available in the U.S., so if you’re outside the U.S., you’ll need a VPN(ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark or Astrill) to watch Hulu.
Hulu is generous and offers one month free trial for its ad-supported plan($7.99/month) and No Ads plan($14.99/month).
Step 1: Head over to the Hulu website.
Step 2: Click Sign up for Hulu only. Sure, you can click the Disney Bundle for the best value but there’s no free trial for that, so you may prefer to consider upgrading to that after your free month.
Step 3: Choose which plan you want to sign up for. Only Hulu(No Ads) and Hulu offers one-month free trial. We strongly recommend the Hulu(No Ads) $14.99/month plan, as the ad-free plan also allows you to download movies and TV shows to watch offline on mobile devices.

Step 5: Add your billing info.

Currently, Hulu is only available in the United States, Puerto Rico, and some locations in Japan. If you live elsewhere, you need to watch Hulu with VPN.
If you only want to experience the Hulu free trial and don’t want to get charged after the free trial. Remember to set a reminder and cancel Hulu subscription before the free trial ends.
