“The Bear” Is Already Serving Up (Several) Emmys
Chefs, it’s all hands on deck. The Bear is nominated for 18 awards at the 76th annual Primetime Emmys this year—and the hardware is already flying in. Jamie Lee Curtis and Jon Bernthal already won well-deserved awards for Guest Actress and Guest Actor, respectively, before the show even started. As expected, that’s just the ensemble cast's first course of awards.
Jeremy Allen White (Carmy) nabbed the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, while Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richie) took home the first award of the night for Outstanding Supporting Actor. Moss-Bachrach was up against his costar Lionel Boyce (Marcus). Plus, Liza Colón-Zayas earned the award for Supporting Actress. Ayo Edebiri (Sydney) is also nominated for Lead Actress. Creator Chris Storer and Ramy Youssef are set to duke it out over an Emmy for Outstanding Directing. If that weren’t enough, The Bear is also nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series.
That’s (potentially) a lot of awards! Even more exciting? This round of nominations is for The Bear season 2. We’ll most likely see everyone back at the podium next year following the shocking season 3 finale, which hit audiences with a “To Be Continued” cliff-hanger. Deadline reports that the cast filmed seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back—meaning that The Bear season 4 could return as early as next year.
At the end of season 3, it’s left unclear just what the Chicago Tribune wrote about Carmy and the Bear. Carmy also has yet to resolve his issues or mend his relationship with Claire (Molly Gordon). Plus, Sydney is about to tell Carmy that she’s leaving his dysfunctional kitchen to start her own restaurant with Ever’s Adam Shapiro. Until we see an official release date from FX, here’s everything we know so far.
What Will Happen in The Bear Season 4?
Hopefully, peace for poor ol’ Carmy. Our troubled chef is traumatized from his past experiences in the culinary world and has yet to fully process his grief over losing his older brother. In the season 2 finale, he accidentally locked himself in a fridge and almost sabotaged his restaurant’s big opening night. While season 3 showed inklings of Carmy beginning to sort everything out, season 4 will likely test him even more before his life gets better.
The same goes for Sydney, Richie (Ebon Moss-Bacharach), Marcus (Lionel Boyce), and the rest of the Bear staff. Most of the time, the kitchen is in chaos. Sydney seeks to leave and chart her own culinary course, but how will everyone else choose to deal with the stress? If they earned a bad review, Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt) might close down the restaurant.
When Will The Bear Season 4 Premiere?
The Bear premieres a new season every June. Season 1 debuted in June 2022, season 2 dropped in June 2023, and season 3 just aired on Hulu in June 2024. If seasons 3 and 4 filmed consecutively, it’s a good sign that everything is moving according to plan. Still, I can’t promise that The Bear season 4 drops in June 2025 until FX officially makes the announcement. For now, I’m still waiting on that Wagyu, chef.
