The inaugural season of The Bear was 8 episodes, and the last two have been 10 episodes. Could the show be gearing up for another episode count increase? Here's our theory why it just might.
Set-up seasons aren’t new to TV, but June 2024 was notable for having multiple of these types of seasons with The Boys, The Bear, and House of the Dragon all trying to pull it off to varying results.
If you ask most people in tune with modern TV shows, they would tell you that The Bear is one of the best shows currently on air. Despite some speed bumps along the way, that assertion remains true with Season 3.
