The Bear season 4 release date: who's returning and what to expect?

Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White have become household names since The Bear debuted in 2022 - (FX)

Most of the episodes of the upcoming season of The Bear have already been completed — and filming of the rest is expected to resume soon — an FX executive has revealed.

The hit US drama — which follows the chaotic kitchen and lives of staff in a Chicago sandwich shop — aired its third series to acclaim earlier this year. Its cast — including Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri — has produced household names since the show debuted in 2022. Allen White and Edebiri have won Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying chefs Carmy and Sydney.

Here’s everything we know about the show’s upcoming season so far.

How much of The Bear season 4 has already been filmed?

Speaking on The Town with Matthew Belloni podcast, FX boss John Landgraf revealed that the upcoming series was filmed simultaneously with series three. “Out of 20 episodes, they shot about 16 and a half. So they can go back in production in February to finish,” he said.

When will The Bear season 4 air?

While a specific date has not yet been confirmed, in a separate interview after the Emmys earlier this year Landgraf told Deadline that the new series “will be ready same time next year”. So far, every series of the show has debuted at the end of June, so it seems we should expect the same for series 4.

What can we expect from the plot of The Bear season 4?

Details regarding the future of the show’s plot are also under wraps. However, the fourth series is expected to answer several of the show’s prominent story arcs. These include revealing the review of the restaurant in the Chicago Tribune and Sydney’s decision on whether to jump ship to work in another restaurant.

Which The Bear cast members are returning for season 4?

There have been no official announcements yet. However, given that the series was filmed in tandem with series 3, the main cast members are expected to return. The Bear is also famous for its guest stars, including John Cena, Jamie Lee Curtis and Will Poulter previously. However, we’ll have to wait and see which new stars will appear in the new series.
