The Bear season 4 will focus on the fallout from The Chicago Tribune's review of the titular restaurant, and what it means for their future operations. It will also continue the stories of its major characters, with Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) continuing to struggle with making the restaurant successful, while Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) wrestles with a chance to run a place of her own.

Now, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that The Bear season 4 will drop in its entirety on Hulu on Wednesday, June 25 at 8 p.m. ET. This is similar to every other season of the show that's come out so far, with new episodes dropping at the end of June each year. The show's new episodes will be about the continued performance of the restaurant and how the team will try to make it better, and the struggles that come with their approach.

What The Bear Season 4's Release Date Means For The Show

The Comedy-Drama Is Keeping Up Its Yearly Tradition

The Bear season 3 ended with some massive cliffhangers. Sydney has yet to make her decision about whether to leave the restaurant, while it's unclear how good or bad The Chicago Tribune's review was. However, it's safe to say the review wasn't as good as expected, since Carmy didn't have a positive reaction when Cicero (Oliver Platt) sent it to him. Season 4 will no doubt reveal what the consensus was, with the review likely being the catalyst for the show's storylines. This could push characters to their limit, potentially impacting the team's bond along the way.

It's unclear if season 4 will be able to sur the mixed reception of season 3, which holds a 51% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes as of writing. Parts of season 4 were filmed alongside season 3, meaning the episodes could feel very similar to this batch. However, with the 2023 Hollywood strikes no longer a factor, The Bear's characters and storylines have a chance to go through some more polish, indicating the series can recover from the reception of the previous season.

Our Take On The Bear Season 4's Release Date

The Show's Yearly Return Isn't Too Surprising

The Bear's June return date isn't that surprising, since the show's already established a pattern of new episodes coming out right at the start of the summer. It offers hope that season 4 is going to be another memorable journey as the team pulls together following The Chicago Tribune review. Now that the wait for their verdict is over, it would make the most sense for the story to move at a brisk pace, quickly revealing what their response to the review is going to be.

All episodes of The Bear through season 3 are now streaming on Hulu.
