The second season of the American comedy-drama television series The Bear premiered with all episodes on June 22, 2023, on FX on Hulu. Christopher Storer and Joanna Calo serve as showrunners for the season. FX renewed the series for a ten-episode second season in July 2022. Jeremy Allen White stars as Carmy Berzatto, an award-winning chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to manage the chaotic kitchen at his deceased brother's sandwich shop.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Abby Elliott return from the previous season as the supporting cast, with Matty Matheson promoted to a series regular. In July 2022, following the release of the first season, FX renewed The Bear for a second season, which began filming in February 2023 in Chicago, and wrapped in April of that year. The season consists of ten episodes.
The season received widespread critical acclaim, with many reviewers considering it an improvement over the first. It received eleven Primetime Emmy Awards wins from 23 nominations, making it the season of television with the most wins in a single year for a comedy series until the record was beaten by the series' second season. The Emmy wins included acting wins for White, Moss-Bachrach and Colón-Zayas, and for guest stars Jon Bernthal and Jamie Lee Curtis.
