Get focused. Get determined. The Bear returns on June 27.

The hit Hulu series which propelled Jeremy Allen White and Ebon Moss-Bachrach into the mainstream is back for a third course on June 27 - once again dropping the entire season all at once. And like the sous-chef that I dream to be, I'm serving up what you need to know on The Bear's cast coming into season 3.

Here is a main cast list for The Bear season 3:

• Jeremy Allen White as Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto
• Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard 'Richie' Jerimovich
• Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu
• Lionel Boyce as Marcus Brooks
• Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina Marrero
• Abby Elliott as Natalie 'Sugar' Berzatto

They're expected to be joined by the returning Molly Gordon (Claire), Edwin Lee Gibson (Ebraheim), Corey Hendri (Sweeps), Oliver Platt (Cicero), José Cervantes (Angel), Richard Esteras (Manny), and Chris Witaske (Pete).

John Mulaney has been cagey about if he'll return, so we'll see - and despite his character being dead, we wouldn't be surprised if Jon Bernthal makes another appearance.

Will there be The Bear season 4?

Like ordering your dinner and your food for the next day, Hulu ordered The Bear season 4 at the same time they greenlight The Bear season 3, with hopes that the cast & crew could film both seasons back-to-back. Hulu hasn't announced when The Bear season 4 will debut, but just like in a restaurant you don't want to ask the kitchen when it'll be ready.

The Bear season 3 debuts June 27, 2024 on Hulu.
