The Bear season 3 given major schedule change before premiere - here's when it will air

The third season of The Bear is one of the most highly anticipated TV releases this year, but the premiere has just been given a huge scheduling shake-up.

The Bear Season 3: Official trailer

The Bear season three will air hours earlier than expected this Thursday, so make sure you don’t miss out.

The hit FX drama follows Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto (played by Jeremy Allen White) and his kitchen staff as they try to open a new restaurant in Chicago. Around the world, the drama streams on Hulu and Disney+.

Carmy’s partnership with Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) and relationship with cousin Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) will be put under even more pressure this season as his personal life begins to clash with the kitchen.

Last season, childhood friend Claire (Molly Gordon) came back into Carmy’s life and they began dating but, with the restaurant’s grand reopening looming, they struggled to find time for each other.

This week’s hotly anticipated premiere will pick up where season two finale left off; with The Bear’s opening a huge success but Carmy locked in the refrigerator and freaking out about his responsibilities.

So, when will the third season of The Bear become available?

All episodes are set to drop this Thursday, June 27 on streaming platforms Hulu and Disney+.

However, fans in the US will be able to tune in early as the 10-episode season will be dropping on FX on Hulu a day before.
