Bob Odenkirk Joins Season 2 of FX's Hit Dramedy Series THE BEAR
Bob Odenkirk, best known for his roles in Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and his current AMC series, Lucky Hank, has signed on to appear in the second season of the FX breakout hit series The Bear.
The series, which will premiere its second season in June, stars Jeremy Allen White as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, an elite chef who returns home to run his family’s Chicago sandwich shop after his older brother dies by suicide. Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Edwin Lee Gibson, Corey Hendrix, Matty Matheson, Richard Esteras and Jose M. Cervantes comprise The Bear’s chaotic kitchen staff, while Abby Elliott stars as Carmy’s sister, Natalie.
After its debut, The Bear became FX’s most-watched half-hour series and took home trophies from the Screen Actors, Writers and Producers Guild Awards. Additionally, White won the Golden Globe for best actor in a TV series, musical or comedy. Season 1 of The Bear is available to stream on Hulu.
Character details for Odenkirk are being kept under wraps, but the actor is said to be boarding the show in a guest role. I cannot wait for The Bear to return for its second season! It is such a fantastic series, and Odenkirk will be a great addition to the cast.
