The Bear arrived in August on Disney+ with its third season while waiting to sweep the Emmy Awards in September, where with 13 nominations it will come as the top favorite in the comedy category, in which its second season is valued. If you have already devoured all its episodes and are left wanting more, Movistar Plus+ has a very good substitute to fill that void.

The proposal is a culinary drama of four episodes for fans of great stories and high-tension plots. It's Boiling Point, a British series and sequel to the successful Boil, the film that also starred Stephen Graham.

The plot of this series takes place eight months after Andy Jones (Stephen Graham) suffered a heart attack. It's then when chef Carly, played by Vinette Robinson, faces new challenges as she tries to make a name for herself in the competitive world of haute cuisine.

Carly now works at Point North, a restaurant located in the gentrified London neighborhood of Dalston, where the pressure and expectations are as high as the flames in the kitchen.

About 'Boil'

The movie by Philip Barantini, available in Spain on Filmin, immerses us in an almost physical way in the truth of what happens in restaurant kitchens.

Nominated for four BAFTA awards, Boil is based on a short film and shot in a virtuoso single take that plunges us into the frenzy of the busiest day in the kitchen of a prestigious chef whose personal life is teetering.

A gem that features Stephen Graham as the leading actor in an ensemble cast to offer a multifaceted look that serves as a mirror to society outside the restaurant.

Specifically, it takes us to the busiest night of the year at a trendy restaurant in London, where the charismatic head chef Andy Jones tries not to crumble under personal and professional crises that could destroy everything he has worked for.

The unexpected visit of a health and food safety inspector increases the pressure on the staff as more and more customers keep coming. Andy scolds and charms his team indiscriminately, doing everything possible to dissipate tensions between management and staff, while attending to the ridiculous demands of their customers.

And Boiling Point, the series set in this same universe, moves forward in time after this, right after the protagonist suffers a collapse and at the Point North restaurant.

Before 'The Bear'

Boiling Point premieres just in time and as the perfect appetizer before the arrival of the third season of The Bear on Disney+ in Spain -which will be on August 14-. If in its first season the series starring Jeremy Allen White focused on efforts to save a family bar in an economic crisis, in the second it showed the creative pressure of creating a new restaurant concept when money is not a problem.

Now, in the third installment, the team opens a new restaurant. The brand new The Bear is a reality, and will open its doors with aspirations to achieve a Michelin star, but behind the stoves there will be the same chaos as always and much more tension.
