The bear surprised fans with the amount of potential continuity errors – and editing errors – that made it into the final cut of Season 3.
The hit series, which debuted in June 2022, introduced chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) while trying to kill Mikey’s brother (Jon Bernthal) restaurant in Chicago. The first season ended with Carmy closing the sandwich shop so he could open a more upscale place called The Bear. Season 2 focused on the employees rushing to prepare The Bear, while the third installment focused on the success – and failures – that came with trying to keep the new company running.
Season 3 received mixed reactions from critics and fans alike. However, viewers proved how focused they were on the content when several continuity errors were pointed out after the episodes began streaming on Hulu in June 2024. Fans walked away asking details about the character’s backstories they felt the show was moving on from, and more.
Before Season 3 aired, reports surfaced of a quiet renewal from FX The bear for more episodes. Multiple outlets claimed that the show filmed seasons 3 and 4 at the same time due to the busy schedules of cast members like White, Ayo Edebiri And Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Matty Matheson, who plays Fak, admitted that it was difficult to remember which scenes to talk about because there is footage that fans wouldn’t see yet when Season 3 started streaming.
‘We can’t talk about a lot of things. But I actually forget everything, which is perfect, because I think: ‘I don’t even know,’” he joked during an interview with Variety that same month. “I actually haven’t even seen the season. I’ve seen some edits and some early episodes, but really I’ve only seen episodes 1 through 4.
The actor also previously discussed the leaks that took place. “It’s one of those things where sometimes we’re out in public and I think it’s a little annoying,” he said Us in March. “But we’re in a city we love and people just happen to walk by. And they walk by as soon as we get outside.”
Matheson continued, “I think maybe we could be a little more secretive. Maybe not just stand outside together. But we’re all such good friends that it honestly seems cold.
