• Hint 1: It’s an animal.
• Hint 2: It’s a homophone for something not covered.
• Hint 3: The creature is partial to a forest.
• Hint 4: It ends with “R.”

I can’t give you any more hints, so for the golden answer to eight across, here’s everything you need to know about the answer.

The answer to the clue in question is “BEAR,” as in the TV show “The Bear” which launched in 2022 and went on to release three highly successful and lauded seasons of TV—with a fourth already confirmed to be on the way.

The premise of the show sees Carmen “Carmy” Anthony Berzatto coming back home to run his family’s sandwich shop. But it’s never that simple, and the resulting seasons produce drama, unrest in the kitchen, and much more. Everything about the show has been applauded, leading to its Emmy nominations for a variety of categories: Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and many more.
