The first trailer for The Bear season 2 previews a somber outing for employees of The Beef. By the end of the dramedy's first run of episodes, Carmen (Jeremy Allen White) and Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), and the rest of their stressed co-workers enjoy a moment to breathe after an unexpected and emotional cash windfall allows the characters to begin the process of working in the kind of restaurant that they've always dreamed of. It's an uplifting note for The Bear season 1 to close on, but the new installment won't just be smooth sailing.
