Hotshot chef Carmy works in high-end restaurants, but when he has to return to Chicago to rescue his family's struggling Italian sandwich shop, he finds he's not quite cut out to deal with its financial issues and troublesome staff.

Season 1 ended with the chef renaming his restaurant to The Bear, after a dramatic finale that set up a change in fortune for the crew, and now it's time for The Bear (the restaurant) to take flight.

If you're keen to see the continuing (and tasty) adventures of Carmy and his staff, here's how to watch The Bear season 2 where you are.
