FX show ‘The Bear’ premiered on US streaming network Hulu on June 23, 2022, and became an instant hit. Viewers loved its sharp writing, stellar performances and wholesome story. Not just audiences, ‘The Bear’ was a hit with critics too. The 8-part series is rated a rare 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, a testament to its quality and likeability.
As Hulu does not stream in India, we here remained deprived of the chance to watch the much talked about show. The world chatted on about ‘The Bear’, on social media and elsewhere, while we Indians watched from the sidelines.
Well, not anymore!
Indian OTT viewers will be glad to know that ‘The Bear’ is finally gearing up to stream on Indian OTT. All eight episodes of ‘The Bear’ arrive on Disney Plus Hotstar on August 17, which is this Wednesday. While we may have not got the chance to catch the other recent Hulu hit ‘Prey’ yet, Indian viewers can be glad that we’ll soon be getting ‘The Bear’ on our shores.
‘The Bear’ is centred on a fine dining chef, who is compelled to leave the hallowed world of fine dining to manage his family’s small sandwich outlet back home. Along the way, he must deal with the vagaries of the restaurant business as well as his strained relationships with his family.
The official synopsis of ‘The Bear’ reads, “A young chef from the fine dining world comes home to Chicago to run his family sandwich shop after a heartbreaking death in his family. A world away from what he’s used to, Carmy must balance the soul-crushing realities of small business ownership, his strong-willed and recalcitrant kitchen staff and his strained familial relationships, all while grappling with the impact of his brother’s suicide. As Carmy fights to transform both the shop and himself, he works alongside a rough-around-the-edges kitchen crew that ultimately reveals itself as his chosen family family”.
‘The Bear’ is created by Christopher Storer. It stars Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas and Abby Elliott in pivotal roles.
