FX’s “The Bear” has been picked up for a second season on Hulu.
Or as the frenzied kitchen staff of the show’s Chicago Italian beef sandwich shop might yell it: “THE BEAR” HAS BEEN RENOOED.

That goes double for an original script with a possibly confusing title. But the show has proven to be enormously popular. As of last week, “The Bear” was the ninth most-watched streaming series, according to the firm Whip Media, which tracks viewer data.
