‘The Bear’: Disney+ UK Sets October Premiere Date For Universally Acclaimed Series
Disney+ UK has announced ‘The Bear‘, the universally acclaimed comedy-drama set in a Chicago sandwich shop, will premiere this October on the streaming service.
‘The Bear’ follows Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a young chef from the fine dining world, who comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop – The Original Beef of Chicagoland – after a heartbreaking death in his family. A world away from what he’s used to, Carmy must balance the soul-crushing realities of small business ownership, his strong-willed and recalcitrant kitchen staff and his strained familial relationships, all while grappling with the impact of his brother’s suicide.
The series is about food, family, the insanity of the grind, the beauty of Sense of Urgency and the steep slippery downsides. As Carmy fights to transform both The Original Beef of Chicagoland and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges kitchen crew that ultimately reveal themselves as his chosen family.
In addition to White, series co-stars include Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“Richard ‘Richie’ Jerimovich”), Ayo Edebiri (“Sydney Adamu”), Abby Elliott (“Natalie ‘Sugar’ Berzatto”), Lionel Boyce (“Marcus”), Liza Colón-Zayas (“Tina”), Edwin Lee Gibson (“Ebraheim”) and Matty Matheson (“Neil Fak”).
The dramedy, which has already aired on Hulu in the USA, established itself as the must-see show of the summer and is arguably the most critically acclaimed new show of 2022. ‘The Bear’ has a perfect, Certified Fresh score of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes, a “Must See” badge and Universal Acclaim score of 86 on Metacritic. The streamer ordered a second season last month.
‘The Bear’ was created by Christopher Storer (‘Ramy’, ‘Eighth Grade’), who also serves as Co-Showrunner, Executive Producer, Writer and Director alongside Co-Showrunner, Executive Producer, Writer and Director Joanna Calo (‘BoJack Horseman’, ‘Undone’). Hiro Murai (‘Atlanta’, ‘Station Eleven’) and Nate Matteson (‘Station Eleven’, ‘The Choe Show’) of Super Frog and Josh Senior also serve as Executive Producers. The series is produced by FX Productions.
