FX’s acclaimed dramedy The Bear is back for its fourth season, premiering on June 26, 2025. Since its 2022 debut, the series has followed the emotional and culinary journey of Carmy, played by Emmy winner Jeremy Allen White. After returning from a high-end culinary career, Carmy takes over his late brother’s modest Chicago sandwich shop, aiming to transform it into a fine-dining destination. The show has struck a chord with audiences for its raw, heartfelt storytelling, chaotic kitchen energy, and gourmet flair.
