FX launched The Bear season four without much fanfare, but apparently the award-winning drama is still a strong performer on Hulu. Season four, which solidified at least this critic’s opinion that labeling it a comedy is a huge mistake, premiered on June 25, 2025. FX’s announcement indicated season six will arrive in 2026.

The Bear continues to be a fan favorite worldwide and their response to this season—as seen through incredibly high viewership—has been as spectacular as any of its previous seasons,” stated John Landgraf, Chairman, FX. “Year-in and year-out, Chris Storer, the producers, cast and crew make The Bear one of the best shows on television, and we are excited that they will continue to tell this magnificent story.”

Jeremy Allen White leads the cast as Carmen “Carmen” Berzatto, Ayo Edebiri stars as Sydney Adamu, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (soon to be seen in The Fantastic Four: First Steps) plays Richard “Richie” Jerimovich. Abby Elliott is Sugar, Lionel Boyce is Marcus, Liza Colón-Zayas plays Tina, and Matty Matheson is Neil. Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon appear in recurring roles as Uncle Jimmy and Claire.

Christopher Storer created the critically acclaimed series and serves as an executive producer. Additional executive producers include Josh Senior, Joanna Calo, Cooper Wehde, Tyson Bidner, Matty Matheson, Hiro Murai, and Rene Gube.

“Season four of FX’s The Bear finds Carmen ‘Carmy’ Berzatto, Sydney Adamu, and Richard ‘Richie’ Jerimovich pushing forward, determined not only to survive but also to take The Bear to the next level,” reads FX’s synopsis. “With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust, and overcome. The pursuit of excellence isn’t just about getting better—it’s about deciding what’s worth holding on to.”

The series has been nominated for 36 Emmys, winning 21. It’s also earned multiple Critics Choice Awards, a Directors Guild Award, and two Independent Spirit Awards.
