FX has embraced Chef Carmy Berzatto’s philosophy of “Every second counts” with enthusiasm. The season 3 premiere of The Bear was moved up to June 26 ahead of its original schedule earlier this summer. Additionally, a fourth season of the popular FX on Hulu comedy-drama is already in the works.
Initial plans involved filming seasons 3 and 4 of The Bear back to back in Chicago. However, filming for season 4 was not finalized as initially thought and is now set to conclude in early 2025. Actor Jeremy Allen White, who plays Carmy, has indicated that filming for season 4 will likely begin in early 2025.
While an official timeline for season 4 has yet to be announced, there is confirmation that the show will continue beyond season 3. The main cast is expected to return for season 4, including Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, and Matty Matheson. Jamie Lee Curtis will also reprise her role in the upcoming season.
Though there was some confusion about whether seasons 3 and 4 were filmed back to back, it was clarified that while some elements of season 4 were shot alongside season 3, the full season will be completed in 2025. The decision to film both seasons together was influenced by the busy schedules of the main cast members.
The evolving production schedule may impact the storyline of season 4, but one thing is certain—The Bear will continue to entertain audiences from its Chicago setting.
What is the season 3 finale of this show all about? Warning: spoilers ahead. The season 3 finale concludes with a foreboding “to be continued” screen, indicating that the unresolved storylines from this chapter will be addressed in the upcoming episodes. This includes Sydney’s looming decision on whether to remain at The Bear, where she would need to commit to signing a partnership agreement, or to accept the tempting offer from former Ever chef Adam Shapiro to become his new chef de cuisine. Additionally, the team at The Bear restaurant will need to navigate the aftermath of The Chicago Tribune’s recent review. While the specifics of the review remain undisclosed, it is evident that a negative review could lead to Cicero withdrawing funding for the restaurant. Complicating matters further, the restaurant must soon turn a profit, a challenging task given Carmy’s exacting standards and list of non-negotiables. Will The Bear be able to achieve its ambition of earning a coveted Michelin star amidst these challenges?
