In The Bear season 2, Chicago chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) and crew flip his late brother Michael’s sandwich shop The Original Beef of Chicagoland — The Beef, for short — into their dream fine dining restaurant, The Bear. Viewers get to see a new level of visual reverence for food and more of the Berzatto family backstory that contextualizes the high tension that’s constantly on boil in this comedy/drama.
The Bear’s first season was nominated for 13 Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series, White for Lead Actor, Ayo Edebiri for Supporting Actress, Ebon Moss-Bachrach for Supporting Actor and both Oliver Platt and Jon Bernthal for Outstanding Guest Actor, all in the comedy category. There’s already buzz that season 2’s story and guest stars — which we won’t get into detail here so as not to spoil anything — could make a strong return to the Emmys in 2024.
