The Bear Season 3 Leaks: FX Condemns Leaks Getting Out Of Shareholder Meeting
The first clip from The Bear's hotly anticipated third season was shown at Walt Disney Company’s Annual Shareholder Meeting on April 3.
Fans got their first glimpse of Season 3 of FX’s The Bear on Wednesday, April 3, when a 53-second clip from Disney’s shareholders meeting, held earlier on Wednesday, landed on social media. The clip has since been taken down. There’s no exact release date for the new season, but the episodes should land on Hulu sometime in June. However, an FX rep says the clip wasn’t approved for wide sharing and asked for the footage to be pulled down.
