Just when we thought the kitchen had finally cooled down, FX’s The Bear is back and firing on all burners. Today, Disney+ will treat us to new episodes of the long-awaited fourth season of the Emmy Award-winning series. Judging by the most recent trailer, things pick up right where we left off, with Carmy, Sydney and Richie not just striving to keep the doors open, but chasing something greater – excellence, legacy, maybe even peace. As ever, the path forward is layered and chaotic, with new challenges waiting just beyond the pass.
Hungry? This next course is arriving right on schedule. Here's everything you need to know about The Bear season four.
When will new episodes of The Bear season four released?
The Bear season four officially premieres on Thursday, 26 June from 10am AEST, with all ten episodes dropping at once, so you won't have to wait for piecemeal updates each week – you can binge the whole series at once if so desired.
For those watching along from Australia, The Bear season four is available to stream via Disney+.

Will season four be the last season of The Bear?
Deadline suggests that season four could end up being the final chapter of The Bear, as was the case with fellow FX comedy Atlanta, which concluded after its last two seasons were shot consecutively.
This is, of course, all speculation at this stage. Safe to say, the rumour mill is certainly spinning – and the trailer and information so far haven't indicated any kind of grand finale on its way just yet.
What is season four about?
Season four promises more tension, more tenderness, and more of the obsessive attention to detail that’s turned a story about a sandwich shop into appointment viewing. The stakes are higher, the team tighter – but the pressure? Still relentless.
In other words, hot off its record-breaking 11 Emmy wins for season two, and a wild season 3, The Bear is once again sharpening its knives – and our appetites.
