All ten episodes of The Bear Season 4 have been released for streaming on Hulu on June 25, 2025.
The returning cast includes Jeremy Allen White, Abby Elliott, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Ayo Edebiri, among others. Joanna Calo and Christopher Storer directed Season 4, which was shot alongside Season 3.
Despite receiving great reviews, the latest season elicited far more muted responses than seasons before. With its remarkable performances and moving story, the show continues to be a well-liked comedy-drama.
Although The Bear has been renewed for a fifth season, it may be the last season, with a potential resolution hinted at by Carmy's departure from the restaurant in the Season 4 finale.
More about the possibilities that could be explored in The Bear Season 5
The Bear has swiftly become one of Hulu's most successful and popular series. It has received critical praise from fans and critics alike, as well as multiple Emmy awards for its incisive writing and emotionally driven performances. With Season 4 now available, fans are wondering if Season 5 will be the last meal for Carmy and the rest of the kitchen team. That the Season 4 finale reveals that the youngest of the three Berzatto's has decided to remove himself from the restaurant partnership agreement further adds to the suspicion.
This is a significant turning point in the storyline, marked by his transfer of ownership of The Bear to Sydney, Richie, and Natalie. His withdrawal implies that he is looking for calm away from the commotion in the kitchen. Fans are questioning if the show is getting ready to end or if this dramatic move is setting the stage for a final chapter.
FX has officially renewed the series for a fifth season, while series creator Christopher Storer has not confirmed whether or not it would be the final one. According to FX Chairman John Landgraf, the choice will ultimately be based on the artistic vision rather than numbers alone. He expressed hope that there is more tale to tell, but emphasized the significance of quality above quantity.
Creatively, it would make sense for The Bear to conclude with Season 5. A final season may allow characters to develop outside of the kitchen, as the fourth season provided both closure and fresh perspectives. It could explore further Sydney's leadership skills, Carmy's life outside the restaurant, and if the team can continue running The Bear without the one who started it.
Whether or not Season 5 marks the end, The Bear has already left an impression with dramatic storytelling and exceptional performances. If the creators decide to conclude the series, viewers could expect a thoughtful and well-crafted ending. Until then, the kitchen stays open.
