Better call Saul! If you want some beef...

Variety reported that Bob Odenkirk will be featured in an undisclosed role in the second season of FX's popular dramedy series The Bear.

The details about the character Odenkirk will portray still remain a mystery, and neither FX nor Odenkirk's representatives have commented on the matter.

The show follows the story of Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, also known as Bear, a renowned chef who leaves his prestigious job in Manhattan to return to his hometown in Chicago.

His mission is to save his family's sandwich shop, which is on the verge of closing after the tragic suicide of his brother, Mikey, who was also an alcoholic.

Overall, The Bear is a poignant and engaging series that explores complex themes with sensitivity and humor.

While it may not be a laugh-out-loud comedy, it offers a heartfelt story that will resonate with audiences. It's no surprise that the show has received glowing reviews.

Critics were absolutely raving about The Bear, and it's no wonder why.

The standout performance by Jeremy Allen White, who played the role of Carmen Berzatto, even earned him a well-deserved Golden Globe.

With the addition of Bob Odenkirk to the cast, fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming season, expecting nothing but the best from this already outstanding series.

After his great performance as Saul Goodman who was a comedy character in Breaking Bad and became a drama character in Better Call Saul, we can firmly admit that Odenkirk is a great actor and him joining the The Bear cast is fantastic news.

It is always heartwarming when a good actor gets as much recognition as his talent deserves.

Odenkirk's fans joke that his character might be making cinnamon buns, alluding to Saul Goodman's other persona, Gene Takovic, from Better Call Saul.

Fans can't wait to see the cast returning to their roles and Odenkirk's character on the show. The second season of the dramedy series is coming to FX in June. And if you haven't seen the first season yet, you can catch up on Hulu.
