THE BEAR is an American comedy-drama television series created by Christopher Storer. It premiered on Hulu on June 23, 2022. THE BEAR consists of 28 episodes of 35 minutes.

STORY: Carmen Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a brilliant young chef from the fine-dining world is forced to return home to run his local 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 reality of trading in Michelin star restaurants for the small 'business' kitchen filled with strong-willed and obstinate staff and his strained familial relationships, all while grappling with the impact of his brother's suicide.       

GAY COUPLE STORYLINE 1: Richard "Richie" Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) is the dead brother's best friend  and the de facto manager of the restaurant. Neil Fak (Matty Matheson) is both a competent mechanic and a close friend of the family is he often target of Richie's antagonizing behaviour, as the man tries to cope with his fractured sense of belonging by disrespecting Fak's decisions and questioning his masculinity and competence. Fak doesn't seem to take their feud too seriously, as he still treats Richie with the warmth and respect he doesn't get, often complimenting Richie's actions and encouraging him.

GAY COUPLE STORYLINE 2: Through grit and determination, Marcus (Lionel Boyce) develops into a skilled pastry chef with the personality of a teddy bear. He first meets Luca (Will Poulter), a traditionally trained pâtissier, in season two, when Carmen sends him to Copenhagen to study with a former colleague at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Audiences gravitated toward the pair’s natural chemistry — so much that people started to make fancams of the two and their intimate interactions.
