Jeremy Allen White and his co-star Abby Elliott were spotted filming season three of Hulu’s The Bear in Chicago, Illinois on Wednesday.
The actor, 33, and the SNL alum, 36, shot a tense one-on-one scene at Terminal 2 at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
White, who plays chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, had a cigarette in his mouth as Elliott, who plays Carmen’s sister Natalie, tried to pass him a wad of $100 bills.
White was bundled up in a brown jacket with baggy khaki pants and lace-up black boots for the scene.
Meanwhile, Elliott kept her hands tucked into the pockets of a purple coat styled with blue jeans and UGG boots.

The co-stars were surrounded by members of the show’s crew as well as several background actors.
Shooting for The Bear’s highly-anticipated third season kicked off earlier this week in Chicago after the Hulu series earned six Primetime Emmy Awards in January.
White was seen on set with his co-stars Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach outside a church on Monday for what appeared to be a funeral.
The characters were most likely attending the funeral of Marcus Brooks (Lionel Boyce)’s mom, who passed away during the season two finale.
White and Edebiri, who plays chef Sydney Adamu, dominated the acting categories at the Emmys, Golden Globes, and SAG Awards.
Last month, it was announced that the upcoming third season of The Bear will premiere this June.
According to Deadline, the date was revealed by FX chairman John Landgraf during a presentation at the Television Critics Association’s winter 2023 press tour.
The third season will also be released all at once for fans to binge-watch.

During his presentation, Landgraf admitted that The Bear was ‘a little anxiety inducing to watch’ and that particularly tense storylines were not ‘typically associated with hit television shows and Emmy awards.’
He then added that, prior to the release of the program’s second season, ‘We made a decision that we would drop the whole thing because for those of you who saw it, it has a really beautiful, very uplifting ending.’
The entertainment industry figure went on to state that, although the idea of releasing The Bear’s new episodes on a week-to-week basis was brought up, it was ultimately shot down.
‘When we came back for Season 2, we debated, since we knew now that we had a hit, can we milk it a little bit?…We then thought that’s a rotten thing to do, to change it up for the audience,’ he recalled.
Landgraf added: ‘The way that Chris makes it, even though the episodes are separate, there’s a whole vibe to every season so we decided not to change what we had already set in motion.’
FX’s chairman concluded by stating that The Bear’s future seasons would also be released all at once.
‘I have no doubt that we’ll keep doing it because we did it in the past. Even if we could, I don’t think we’d change it now,’ he said.
The Bear was created by Christopher Storer and debuted on the Hulu streaming service in June of 2022.
