The Bearseason 4 gets a filming update from Emmy-winning star Jeremy Allen White. Returning with new episodes after much anticipation earlier this summer, the FX on Hulu dramedy ended on a note of uncertainty. All season long, there had been stress over a restaurant review that had the potential to lift the restaurant or possibly destroy it. Even though Carm begins to read the review, which just dropped inThe Bearseason 3 finale, viewers are kept in the dark about whether the review is positive or negative.
In an interview withEsquireto discuss his latest Calvin Klein campaign, White also discussed when filming might start forThe Bearseason 4. The actor noted thatfilming could begin in February or March 2025, similar to previous years, though he adds that he’s not sure. The quote is included below:

I’m not exactly sure when. I know it’s not going to be until next year. I imagine sometime early next year, a similar start date to the last couple of years: February/March time.
The Bear’s Consistent Schedule Is One Of Its Strengths
It Has Debuted A New Season Every Year During The Summer.
White’s comments aboutThe Bearseason 4offer some clarity about the series. It had previously been reported that the FX series had shot season 3 and season 4 back to back. But based on comments from the actors in recent interviews, that’s not the case. The studio did clarify that some scenes were shot in advance, but no further detail was provided. Still, considering usual streaming schedules, with long delays,the popular dramedy is a relatively rare streaming show that has released a new season every year.
The Bear’s steady schedule has helped it remain in the conversation with audiences and critics.

Considering that the start of filming will match previous years, the show may be able to return with new episodes in the summer months, as it usually does. In particular,new seasons have premiered in June of each year so far. Even thoughthe cast ofThe Bear, which includes Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson, have all steadily lined up other projects, not to mention the reliable group of recurring guests, it could be possible to get an answer about that fateful review sooner rather than later.
The Bear Season 3’s Highest-Rated Episode Broke A Series Record That I Never Thought Would Happen
The Bear season 3’s highest-rated episode proved how well-loved all the show’s characters are, and it broke a record I didn’t think would happen.
The Bear’s steady schedule has helped it remain in the conversation with audiences and critics. It’s an area where other streaming hits have struggled, where having a long gap may result in viewers forgetting about the show. But the consistency of the FX show, which is created by Christopher Storer, is all the more important, given the lack of certainty regarding the show’s future beyond season 4.
