There have been several discussions about the exact release date for season 4 of The Bear. Currently, the upcoming season doesn’t have an official release date, although it was filmed alongside season 3. Speaking to Esquire on August 27, 2024, Jeremy Allen White, who plays Carmy, commented on this, stating,

“I imagine sometime early next year, a similar start date to the last couple of years: February/March time."

Previously, all three seasons of The Bear have seen a release date in June. However, since filming has wrapped up earlier, season 4 might just be released in February or March as established by White.


What is the plot for season 4 of The Bear?

The Bear season 3 ended with a cliffhanger, leaving several perplexing and unanswered questions. Season 4 of The Bear will uncover the mysterious and highly anticipated review from The Chicago Tribune.

After Carmy and the team had meticulously planned a perfect evening for the food critic, the finale never revealed the verdict. Likewise, before the end of season 3, Sydney was offered the opportunity of a lifetime—to work under chef Adam Shapiro as his chef de cuisine.

Conflicted by her attachment to the bear and the efforts she put in, Sydney hasn’t given him her answer, nor is Carmy aware of it. Another bombshell dropped was Richie’s ex-wife’s wedding! Richie still thought there was hope for his marriage to work out even though he was estranged.
