Bradley Cooper’s 2015 culinary drama *Burnt* will be available to stream free on Plex from 1 September 2026. The article presents it as a potential alternative for viewers who have finished *The Bear*, due to both works focusing on high-pressure restaurant life and troubled chefs seeking redemption.

Directed by John Wells and written by *Peaky Blinders* creator Steven Knight, *Burnt* follows former culinary prodigy Adam Jones as he attempts to rebuild his career after substance misuse. Alongside Cooper, the cast includes Omar Sy, Sienna Miller, Emma Thompson, Alicia Vikander and Lily James; a photograph of Cooper’s character also appeared in *The Bear* Season 3, prompting cameo speculation that did not materialise.
