The Bear returns for its fourth and final season on Hulu on Wednesday, June 25. All 10 episodes will be available at 5 p.m. Pacific time, or 8 p.m. Eastern. The series runs on FX and streams exclusively on Hulu.

Jeremy Allen White leads the cast as Carmy Berzatto, with Ayo Edebiri returning as Sydney Adamu. The season is the final chapter of the Emmy-winning drama, which has followed a fine-dining restaurant in Chicago through three intense seasons.

Season three ended on an unresolved note, leaving several character arcs open. The writers have said the finale season addresses those threads and brings the show to a definitive conclusion. Hulu confirmed the show will not continue beyond season four.

The Bear has become one of the most acclaimed series of recent years, winning multiple Emmy Awards and generating intense viewer loyalty. The drop-all-at-once format matches how previous seasons were released, allowing audiences to watch at their own pace over the summer.

Other major cast members returning include Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie, Lionel Boyce as Marcus, and Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina. All four of those actors won Emmy Awards during the show’s run.

The final season arrives at the same time as several other major releases. House of the Dragon starts June 21 on HBO. Toy Story 5 opens in theaters on June 19. The competition for audience time this summer is one of the strongest in recent memory.

FX has not announced any planned spin-offs or continuations following the conclusion of The Bear. The show’s team has said they wanted to tell a complete story and leave it there. Fans have followed the series closely since it launched in 2022.

Critics who have seen early screeners of season four have described it as a satisfying conclusion to the story. Specific plot details have not been released ahead of the June 25 premiere.

Hulu also has other major programming scheduled for the summer, but The Bear remains its flagship prestige drama. Streaming audiences in 2026 have shown strong interest in established series wrapping up long-running storylines.

According to Hulu, the series is available in all markets where the platform operates, and international viewers can access it through Disney+ in regions where Hulu is not available.
