Exciting news for fans of The Bear! While the official announcement is yet to come, multiple sources have confirmed that the Emmy-winning FX on Hulu comedy has quietly secured a fourth season, set to film back to back with Season 3 in Chicago.
Speculation sparked about additional episodes beyond Season 3 after rumors circulated in Chicago local outlets recently.
Despite the buzz, it’s still uncertain whether this will mark the end of the beloved restaurant comedy. Similar scenarios have played out with other acclaimed FX series like Atlanta, which concluded after filming Seasons 3 and 4 consecutively.
However, sources indicate that Season 5 of The Bear is still on the table. The decision to film Seasons 3 and 4 back to back is attributed to accommodating talent schedules, particularly for Emmy winners Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, who are reportedly fielding numerous feature opportunities.
With stars like White, Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach gaining recognition, the show’s creator, Storer, is also making waves. Storer recently signed on to write and direct a feature adaptation of Amor Towles’ The Lincoln Highway.
Season 3 of The Bear is set to premiere in June, remaining a binge-worthy treat for Hulu subscribers. Production for the upcoming season kicked off last month, with avid fans in Chicago already sharing intriguing location shoot snapshots online.
Having clinched 10 Emmys for its first season and continuing to garner critical acclaim, The Bear remains a standout in the comedy realm, promising more laughs and surprises in the seasons to come.
