Here’s all the songs featured in the Disney+ hit restaurant series The Bear, from The Strokes to Counting Crows and REM.

The Bear will return on 27th June with a third series, starring Jeremy Allen White as Carmy, Ayo Edebiri as Sydney and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie, as the Chicago-based show brings us more stressful scenes from the kitchen and a great soundtrack.

Fans of the show were delighted with the acting, writing and execution of series 1 and 2 of The Bear, but have also been vocal about the choice of songs used in the drama.

As series 3 drops onto Disney+, we’re taking a look at the soundtrack of The Bear season 1 and 2, and later those used for the highly-anticipated third series.
