FX has dropped a surprise prequel episode of The Bear.
The special installment was released on Wednesday (May 5) and features a flashback that follows Ebon Moss-Bachrach‘s character Richie and Jon Bernthal‘s Mikey as they go on a work trip to Gary, Ind.
The description, per Variety, describes the episode as follows, “The two friends’ complicated relationship, uncovering new layers of Mikey’s mental state while offering crucial insight into the man Richie is when audiences first meet him in Season 1 — adding emotional context that reframes their story from the very beginning.”
Ebon and Jon co-wrote the episode with series creator Christopher Storer directing.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps star shared the news about the episode dropping on his Instagram, writing, “COUSINS! PRIMOS! CUGINI!!! Get ready for GARY!!!! We are so excited to finally share this little adventure with Richie and Mikey.”
“Gary” is the name of the episode and it does appear as its own separate episode rather than part of The Bear.
The critically-acclaimed FX/Hulu show is expected to return sometime this year, likely in June, which is when previous seasons have dropped. It is also believed to be the final season of the show, as teased by recurred guest star Jamie Lee Curtis.
