A popular The Bear season 2 guest star is coming back for season 3 (Who is returning?)

Yes, chef! The Bear season 3 returns on June 27 to Hulu, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment of the hit anxiety-inducing comedy series (is it really a comedy though?). June airdates worked well for the show for its first two seasons, so it's no surprise that The Bear is dropping new episodes in June once again this year.

FX has confirmed that the main cast from season 2, including Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson, Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon are all coming back for The Bear season 3.

The Feast of Seven Fishes, anyone? The surprise guest stars featured in season 2 made for some of the most memorable and entertaining storylines -- and we hope to see these familiar faces again. To name a few, The Bear's guest stars included Will Poulter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Paulsen, Jon Bernthal, Bob Odenkirk, John Mulaney, Olivia Colman and more. But which of the guest stars from season 2 are joining them?

The Bear season 3 will feature the return of a guest star from season 2

Officially, FX and Hulu have not confirmed whether any of these guest stars will be coming back for The Bear season 3. However, fans near the set in April 2024 spotted Will Poulter working. You'll remember Poulter as Luca, the professional chef in Copenhagen who trained Marcus in preparation for cooking in Carmy's new restaurant.

I loved these scenes with Luca and Marcus in Copenhagen, especially because it brought us somewhere that felt so different from the bustling Chicago city, while also expanding our look into the world of fine dining. But, Poulter seems to be filming in a Chicago location for season 3, so perhaps Luca comes to visit Marcus and Carmy. I'm ready to hear all of your fan theories!

Will Poulter is very likely not the only guest star to return, but we'll have to wait and see if FX decides to announce other characters or share clips from the season with new guest stars. So far, an official trailer and two teases have been released and are now available to watch online.

Watch the official trailer for season 3

The trailer has a lot to say about what fans can expect this season! And Carmy looks to be more... intense than ever. In his quest to earn a Michelin Star for the restaurant and rave reviews from critics, he writes a list of non-negotiable rules for the other chefs and his staff. And his behavior and standards seem to be a driving force for how everyone around him operates. Watch the full official trailer below!

Mark your calendar for June 27! All 10 episodes of The Bear season 3 will be released simultaneously for a fully binge-able experience.
