‘The Bear' Season 4: Release date, cast, trailer and everything else you need to know
10 new episodes of The Bear? Yes, chef! The Bear is back for Season 4, and if you're as hungry as we are for its return, here's what you need to know. All the core cast members, including Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, will return for Season 4, which returns to Hulu on Wednesday, June 25. All 10 episodes of The Bear Season 4 will drop simultaneously, just like past seasons. It appears from the Season 4 trailer that the series will pick up right where we left off, with all our beloved employees of The Bear finally reading their long-awaited restaurant review. Watch the trailer below and find out what else you need to know about the new season of The Bear, including where to watch it. The Bear Season 4 premieres Wednesday, June 25 with all 10 episodes. The Bear is technically an FX original series, but historically the show has only been available on FX's designated streaming platform, Hulu. Last year, FX finally aired all episodes from Season 1 of The Bear. But for the newest season, Hulu (or Disney+ if you're a bundle subscriber) is the only confirmed way to watch the FX original series. All 10 episodes of The Bear Season 4 will drop at once on June 25. Are you ready to binge-watch? Plenty of familiar faces will be returning for Season 4 of The Bear, including: Jeremy Allen White as Chef Carmy Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard "Richie" Jerimovich Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina Marrero Abby Elliott as Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto Lionel Boyce as Marcus Brooks Matty Matheson as Neil Falk Jamie Lee Curtis as Donna Beczatto While Seasons 1 and 2 of The Bear were widely well-received, Season 3 reviews were more mixed. Season 4 reviews of The Bear aren't out yet, so you may just have to watch and decide for yourself whether this season returns the show to its pedestal. All three (soon to be four) seasons of The Bear are available to watch on Hulu.
