Everything to know about season 4 of 'The Bear' after that cryptic season 3 finale

Season three of FX's "The Bear," released on Wednesday, teases more episodes to come. Here's what has been revealed so far about season four.

• The season 3 finale of FX's "The Bear" teases more episodes to come.
• The show was reportedly renewed for a fourth season in March. 
• Contrary to reports, seasons 3 and 4 weren't filmed back to back.

FX will be serving up more episodes of "The Bear."

Season three of the Emmy-winning series, centered on chef Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto's (Jeremy Allen White) mission to transform his family's beef shop into an upscale fine-dining restaurant, was released on Wednesday night. The 10-episode season concludes with a title card that reads, "To be continued."

Although the network has yet to make an official announcement, multiple outlets, including The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline, reported earlier this year that "The Bear" was quietly renewed for a fourth season.

Here's everything we know so far.

Some scenes for season 4 were already filmed

In March, THR and Deadline reported that seasons three and four would be filmed back to back. According to the publications, this production change was meant to keep the show's release timeline intact and accommodate the cast's availability.

However, during a season three virtual press conference attended by Business Insider, the cast hedged when a reporter asked if seasons three and four were filmed back to back.

"We did something like that," White said.

"Yeah, a little version of it, sort of. But not exactly," Edebiri added.

Days later, The Playlist reported that season four wasn't filmed in its entirety because the scripts weren't ready.

FX confirmed to the publication that seasons three and four weren't filmed uninterrupted, but some parts for the next installment were shot.

There's no season 4 release date yet

Since its premiere in summer 2022, a new season of "The Bear" has been consistently released every year. If the show maintains that pace, season four will likely come out sometime in 2026.
