When Will We See The Bear Season 4?

The much-awaited third season of The Bear has been streaming on Disney+ for a few weeks now, so we’re sure you’ve had time to wonder about what might happen next – especially with that ever-so-evocative ‘To Be Continued’ notice at the tail end of episode 10. So, when will we get to see The Bear season 4? Here are all of the details.

The Bear Season 4: Plot, Cast, Release Date

Has The Bear Been Renewed For Season 4?

Yes, The Bear has been quietly renewed for a fourth season, and it was actually filmed back-to-back with season three.

What Will Happen?

With season 3 very reflective, tracing many events of the past, The Bear season 4 is rumoured to be rooted in the present – so we can expect many more of those lengthy, one-shot scenes and fewer disjointed flashbacks. Season 3 left us on a minor cliffhanger: when Carmy returns to The Bear after attending the ‘funeral’ of his favourite restaurant Ever, he gets a notification – the much-awaited Chicago Tribune review for his restaurant has landed.

A tumult of words flash on screen, both good and bad – and it’s impossible to find the verdict amongst it all. Carmy has four missed calls from Uncle Jimmy, who warned earlier in the season that one bad review could break the restaurant. So it’s not looking good.

Meanwhile, Sydney is still panicking over an offer from Chef Shapiro to join him launching his own restaurant after the closure of Ever. As Carmy’s Docusign for The Bear languishes ever-longer in her inbox, the early episodes of The Bear season 4 are sure to trace the fallout of her decision, whichever way she swings.

Will The Bear Season 4 Be The Last?

No news just yet on whether the upcoming season of The Bear will be its fourth and final. Naturally, we never want it to end, but it has to run out of steam one day. With season 4 filmed immediately after season 3, we can imagine the series creators wanting to lock their stars down and tell the ending they desire before chocka schedules throw a spanner in the works.

Release Date

Just because filming has wrapped on The Bear season 4, doesn’t mean we should expect to see it anytime soon. Following the pattern set by the first three seasons, all released in June, we expect to see The Bear season 4 in June 2025.

Some reports are suggesting the ‘To Be Continued’ sign means an earlier release. Our fingers are crossed, but we’re not holding our breath.
