The total views include viewership on Hulu, Hulu on Disney+ in the United States and on Disney+ in international territories where the series was already available. Disney further noted that season three received 24% more views in comparison to the season two premiere, marking a continuous growth for the show.

It focuses on the crew of The Bear following a chaotic opening night and their attempts to survive in the cut-throat world of the restaurant business.
