The Bear season 4: Will there be another series?

Will The Bear return for season 4 on Disney+?

The Bear has made a triumphant return and fans are already buzzing about what's next for the show.

Since its premiere on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu in the US, the restaurant drama has had viewers glued to their screens with its intense scenes and unexpected guest stars.

Despite many shows facing significant delays due to the Hollywood actors and writers' strikes last year, this hasn't seemed to affect the Jeremy Allen White series.

Now, just a year after season two premiered, The Bear is back for its third season, with all 10 episodes released at once on Thursday, June 27.

With Sydney's (Ayo Edibiri) dramatic final scene and Carmy's ambition to create an unparalleled fine dining experience, season three promises plenty of gripping moments.

Will there be a season 4 of The Bear?

Even before The Bear season three premiered on Disney+ and Hulu, the future of the Emmy Award-winning show was already determined.

Deadline confirmed in March that, following the green light for series three in November, The Bear has also been commissioned for a fourth season.

Series three and four were actually filmed consecutively in Chicago, so fans can likely expect the drama to return in less than a year.

However, this has sparked speculation as to whether this fourth series will be its last.

The FX and Hulu hit show Atlanta has wrapped up after filming its third and fourth series consecutively, sparking speculation that The Bear might follow suit in ending its run.

However, there's no official word on the show's conclusion, with Deadline reporting that a fifth season "remains a possibility" at this point.

It's thought that the back-to-back filming schedule could be down to the cast's growing commitments.

Since the launch of The Bear, lead Jeremy Allen White and co-star Ayo Edebiri have seen their stars rise, with White taking the helm in The Iron Claw and Edebiri juggling numerous projects.

Edebiri's been particularly active in voice acting, lending her talents to Inside Out 2, Clone High, Big Mouth, Omni Loop, and Bigtop Burger.

According to her IMDb page, Edebiri's calendar is chock-full post-season three, with gigs like Opus, Ella McCay, After The Hunt, and Tales Of The Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles.
