The Bear wrapped up its third season in June 2024, and fans of the incredible FX comedy-drama are already salivating at the thought of more restaurant stress and family dysfunction. The show focuses on the mental health and interpersonal problems of Carmy, Sydney, Richie, and the rest of the titular restaurant’s staff as they navigate opening up a fine-dining establishment in the same location as a previously legendary deli sandwich shop.

While you can enjoy shows like The Bear while waiting for the next season, you should also check out the details about what’s next on the horizon for the show itself. This is everything we already know about The Bear season 4!

What will The Bear season 4 be about?

One of the biggest fan complaints about season 3 was that too many episodes meandered around plotlines instead of resolving them. The third season ended on a cliffhanger regarding a potentially fatal review of the restaurant that popped up on Carmy’s phone in the final scene, but that wasn’t the only storyline left up to our imaginations. Carmy also never talked to his ex-girlfriend about his feelings for her, but family friend Neil Fak tried to put the bug in her ear that Carmy might eventually reach out in season 4.

Sydney got a job offer to work at a different restaurant during the middle of season 3 and used much of the final half of the season to contemplate leaving Carmy’s staff for greener pastures. Many fans were disappointed she didn’t make her choice before the credits rolled on the season finale, so expect this to be another vital plot thread that will be pushed to the forefront at the beginning of The Bear season 4.

Richie featured heavily throughout the end of season 2 but didn’t get as much screen time during season 3. His personal and professional life stalled after a lot of character development last year, but fans absolutely love actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach so expect him to elevate his game yet again next season.

Who will appear in The Bear season 4?

Fans can expect to see the same main cast members in The Bear season 4. Jeremy Allen White will return as Carmy, Ayo Edebiri will play Sydney, and the aforementioned Moss-Bachrach will play Richie. The Bear is known for getting a lot of big guest stars to cameo throughout the last three seasons. Surely, the Hulu hit will find another superstar to flash their greatness during The Bear season 4. John Cena was season 3’s biggest surprise, while Jamie Lee Curtis returned as the Berzatto’s matriarch in one of the best episodes of the year, “Ice Chips.”

Is there a trailer for The Bear season 4?

Coming In 2025 | Disney+

Disney+ released a preview for its upcoming shows in 2025 with small teasers for various series and The Bear was one of the programs in the trailer. The main scene in the teaser is a conversation between Sydney and Donna Berzatto (the mother of Carmy), in which Donna tells Syd that sometimes your work family is closer to you than your bloodline. What does this mean for next season? Sydney was trying to figure out whether to take a job at a different restaurant at the end of season 3. Perhaps after a talk with Donna, she will decide home is where Carmy is.

When does The Bear season 4 come out?

The Bear season 4 will likely be released in late June 2025. The first three seasons were all released in June. There is no reason to believe there will be any delays in making the fourth season unless we get an update from the cast and crew stating so. Fans can also expect the entire season to be released at the same time when season 4 comes out, as Hulu has made all episodes available on the same day for the previous three seasons. The Bear season 2 and season 3 both had 10 episodes. It’s safe to say they’ll stick with this number for season 4.

Making the Cut: The importance of cutting your cigar the right way

Face, Head, Person

The first time I smoked a cigar, I sat at a cigar lounge, letting the sounds of Frank Sinatra wash over me while an expert told me all about the wrap and the tobacco, the technique of smoking (piece of advice: don’t inhale, it hurts), and picking the right cigar. Then I picked up the cutter provided by the lounge and went to snip off the end. As if I was about to kick a puppy, the expert panicked and stopped me from doing the deed. I was about to cut on the cap. What the Hell is a cap? It is the wrapper that tells you which end to cut, and also, you NEVER cut on or below the cap. That is when I realized there is actually a thing here. There is a technique for cutting the cigar. But is it really that important? Actually, it is. It controls the temperature. It affects the flavor. The burn temp. All of this is tied into the cut by controlling the airflow. Well…luckily for me, I have friends over at La Aurora, and John Gaglio helped me out with a little insight.

Think of the cut like ice in a glass of whiskey. Too little dilution, and the pour does not open up in a way that can live up to its complexity. Too much, you’ve drowned the thing you liked about it. – John Gaglio, La Aurora

Tommy Bahama is making après-golf a thing

Face, Happy, Head

You can hear the lifts close; the last of the mountain riders are removing their skis or snowboards and getting ready for the next event of the experience. That is right, the snowsport is only the beginning. Now, you get to get dressed into something a little more comfortable and enjoy the social part of the experience: après-ski. Sometimes it is a huge party. Sometimes it is a quiet time by the fire. But the after event is just as fun as the event itself. But why should skiing have all the glory? Tommy Bahama is seemingly taking that idea to the golf course, albeit unintentionally. No, they are just becoming quite popular with the golf crowd, and that means we’re right up against the time of après-golf becoming a thing. This is more than simply the 19th hole. This is a budding culture shift focused on clothing as much as golf. At least, that’s what I think when I talk to Doug Wood, CEO of Tommy Bahama.

Tommy Bahama is sold in golf-adjacent and golf-friendly shops – and we like it that way. Golf shops traditionally mark their product down and we don’t like product markdowns. – Doug Wood, CEO of Tommy Bahama

The Golf Channel’s Betting on Reality TV Again With ‘Big Break,’ Which Returns After More Than 10 Years

Person, Adult, Female

The Big Break was an incredibly popular show on The Golf Channel for over a decade. The reality TV series premiered in 2003 and aired 23 seasons until 2015, when it was canceled. At the time, NBC owned the Golf Channel, and the network made cuts throughout, which included axing Big Break. The series pitted aspiring pro golfers against a series of challenges. Think Survivor meets Wipeout. But the stakes were high, with the winner ultimately receiving the grand prize of a sponsor exemption at a pro golf tournament.

The series, which debuted in 2003, featured a myriad of skills challenges, including the popular “Glass Break” and “Flop Wall” challenges. And after NBC sold off some of its assets, including the Golf Channel, new owner Versant — in collaboration with the golf media company Good Good — is bringing back the popular series for its 24th season, which is being co-hosted by Bachelor in Paradise fame Wells Adams and former LPGA Tour pro and Golf Channel personality Blair O’Neal. The team is also made up of Good Good Golf’s Matt Scharff, who will be a reporter, along with Brad Dalke and Tom “Bubbie” Broders as non-playing team captains.
