Hulu’s The Bear is gearing up having started filming Season 3 and sweeping award shows – but the third season might not lead to a fourth.
It stars Jeremy Allen White as Carmy, a world-class chef who returned to his Chicago roots to run his deceased brother’s sandwich shop. The storyline has flourished and evolved with fans loving every aspect of the series, its characters, and its heartfelt storylines.
The Bear Season 3began production in February with the main cast returning, and while fans are hopeful, it may or may not be the last.
The Bear Season 4 may not happen
Despite the series’ success, reports claim that creator Christopher Storer agreed to work on three seasons, with a Season 4 unclear for now.
According toReel Chicago, FX/Hulu wants to see The Bear Season 4 happen. But it may be tricky as Storer had originally agreed to only create three seasons, with him possibly leaving to focus on his other projects.
For now, Storer has agreed to film extra episodes for the series only if they were filmed alongside Season 3. But whether these episodes will be added to the new season or a fourth is unclear. With the third season currently in production, FX/Hulu has not made any official announcement about the series creator or the future of The Bear.
