The fourth season of The Bear streamed all 10 episodes, on my Dad's 90th. So I am finally catching up with the Jeremy Allen White lead series.
He reprises his role as Carmy Berzatto, an award-winning chef who returns to his hometown of Chicago to manage the chaotic kitchen at his deceased brother's sandwich shop.
Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, & Edwin Lee Gibson also return for the fourth season of the hit series for FX/Disney+.
The Bear began filming with the third season in February 2024, and was completed in early 2025.
This season has had positive reviews from critics, though reception was more muted than prior seasons.
Earlier this month the series was renewed for a fifth season. So more The Bear is on the way, likely gaining more award nominations.
If like me you are not up to date with your stories, then don't read on cause we are diving head first into episode ten of season four!
Sydney confronts Carmy over his decision to quit. Carmy insists he is making the best decision for the restaurant, arguing that he became a chef to avoid facing his familial trauma, and that Sydney is pursuing the field for the right reasons.
He tells Sydney she is the reason the restaurant is surviving, and that he believes in her more than he believes in himself. Richie interrupts them; he is initially flippant about the news until Carmy reveals he came to Mikey's funeral, but could not bring himself to attend.
The two have an honest and heartfelt conversation in front of Sydney, where they admit the resentments they held towards one another in the wake of Mikey's death.
Carmy tells Richie that he is retiring in part to learn who he is outside of the kitchen. Sydney ultimately agrees to take over if Richie is also given a partnership stake, which he accepts. Natalie arrives and tearfully embraces Carmy upon learning the news while Cicero's clock eventually reaches zero.
So will season five be the end? I think it needs to end. This season was fine, it's not a comedy people at the Emmy's, but I reckon a fifth and final season is in order.
