FX’s award-winning culinary dramedy “The Bear” is returning to Hulu this summer. Season 4 of the critically acclaimed series will premiere on Wednesday, June 25 at 8 PM ET, with all ten episodes available to stream immediately — continuing the binge-watch release style that has marked the series since its debut.
“The Bear” Season 4
The new season picks up with Carmy Berzatto and his team as they push to elevate “The Bear” to the next level. According to the official description, the crew is “pushing forward, determined not only to survive, but also to take “The Bear” to the next level. With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust, and overcome. This season, the pursuit of excellence isn’t just about getting better — it’s about deciding what’s worth holding on to.”
While anticipation remains high, it is currently unclear whether Season 4 will be the series’ final outing. The third season — which aired last summer— received a more mixed reception from critics and audiences, following the massive success of the first two seasons. Whether Season 4 can recapture the critical buzz and cultural impact of the earlier installments remains to be seen.
“The Bear”: From Cult Hit to Emmy Powerhouse
“The Bear” stars Jeremy Allen White as Carmy, a brilliant but troubled chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to take over his late brother’s struggling sandwich shop. He’s joined by Ayo Edebiri as Sydney, a driven young chef who helps him reimagine the eatery into a fine-dining restaurant. The cast also includes Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Matty Matheson, all of whom have become central to the show’s emotional and comedic core.
Since its 2022 debut, the show has become both a fan favorite and a critical darling. Season 1 earned the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, and cast members White, Edebiri, Moss-Bachrach, and Colón-Zayas have all won individual Emmys. Season 2 set a new record by taking home 11 Emmys, the most ever for a comedy series in a single year, though it ultimately lost Best Comedy Series to Hacks on Max.
As “The Bear” heads into its fourth season, the stakes are higher than ever — both for its characters and its place in the television landscape. Will it regain the thunder of its earlier seasons, or signal a turning point for the acclaimed series? We’ll find out when the full season drops on June 25.
