The Bear season 3 potential spoilers follow.
The Bear has teased a character death in season 3 as production continues.
In a new filming picture from the upcoming season, major characters including Marcus (Lionel Boyce), Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are gathered round outside a church in black dress.
The funereal scenes suggest that one character has passed away – potentially Marcus's mother, whom we saw the pastry chef take care of amid illness throughout the second season.

In the season 2 finale, viewers will remember that Marcus missed numerous calls from his mum's nurse, hinting something serious had happened.
What to Read Next
FX chairman John Landgraf recently confirmed that the next season of The Bear will premiere in June this year, and was also asked whether season 3 will include more cameos after appearances from the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis and Olivia Colman last season.
"Unfortunately, I can’t. I was surprised as you were when the Christmas episode came through the door," he said.

Landgraf also suggested that all episodes will drop at once, saying: "It wasn’t lost on me or anyone who worked on the show that it was anxiety-inducing. So we made a decision to drop the whole thing because it has a beautiful, uplifting ending."
Following the show's season 3 renewal last year, FX Entertainment president Nick Grad said: "What they and the crew have done is truly remarkable, and we and our partners at Hulu and Disney+ join fans in looking forward to the next chapter in the story of The Bear."
The Bear seasons one and two are available to stream on Disney+.
