Chefs, foodies or fans of men in white T-shirts will find something to love in the smash hit series The Bear on Hulu that took over streaming services in June 2022. And the second season features just as much drama, yelling and meticulously prepared food.

Awards season is in full swing, and The Bear has continued its winning streak, taking home 10 Emmys, three Golden Globes and five Critics Choice Awards over the course of its two seasons so far.

If you haven’t started watching the show and are interested now with all of its awards season victories, the entire first and second season is available to binge on Hulu. Or if you’ve seen season one but not yet had time to catch season two, read on for how to watch.

[Spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen season one yet!] The show left in season one off with culinary prodigy Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (played by Shameless alum Jeremy Allen White) discovering stashed cash his deceased brother left behind. Now, with around $300,000 in his pocket, Carmy, along with the rest of the kitchen staff, plan to turn the mom-and-pop shop into a top-tier restaurant with the famous Chicagoland Original Beef at its forefront.
