“We did something like that,” Jeremy Allen White said at a press conference when asked if the two seasons were indeed filmed back to back as intended. Ayo Edebiri added, “Yeah, a little version of it, sort of. But not exactly.”

A secondagreed, “I really feel The Bear was more interested in setting up Season 4 than giving us anything worthwhile to watch in Season 3. I don’t think I’ve been this annoyed with a season of TV since Arrested Development Season 5.”

“My mom says the theme to this season of The Bear is ‘We want a Season 4 so let’s not resolve anything,'” a thirdweighed in.

At the end ofThe Bear Season 3, fans were left waiting to find out if Carmy could keep his restaurant alive. Instead of getting answers, they were left with a cliffhanger for Season 4.

“To be continued… The Bear Season 4 next week?” one fanadded, while anothercomplained, “The Bear Season 4 needs to be weekly releases. That’s just too much stress at one time.”
