‘The Bear’ Renewed for Season Four, to Film Back-to-Back With Season Three

Season three of The Bear isn’t even here yet, but fans can rest assured that they’ll have the beloved restaurant-based drama for at least another season after it.

FX quietly renewed the dramedy starring Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri for a fourth season — months before season three airs on Hulu this June — and will film directly after the upcoming season, according to several reports. It’s unclear how many episodes the fourth installment was renewed for. (Variety was among the first outlets to confirm the news.)

Just last month, FX chairman John Landgraf announced at the Television Critics Association press tour Friday that Carmy and company will return in one big binge-able helping on Hulu this summer.

“It wasn’t lost on me or anyone who worked on the show that it was anxiety-inducing,” Landgraf said at the TCA tour (via Variety). “So we made a decision to drop the whole thing because it has a beautiful, uplifting ending.”

The acclaimed series, Rolling Stone‘s second-best show of 2023, cleaned up at the Golden Globes: The Bear won Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, while White and Edebiri took home Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively. The show also won Outstanding Comedy Series at the Emmys, in addition to acting awards for White, Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Back in December, White told Variety that The Bear’s third season will likely be closer in tone to the first season than its second, which focused less on the inner workings of the kitchen and more on the buildout of the restaurant.

“I do know in January I’m going to spend a fair amount of time getting together with some chefs. There’ll be a menu set, I believe, that’s going to be for the restaurant in the third season. And I know that I’m going to start putting together that menu with different chefs,” White said.
