FX executive John Landgraf has addressed the potential release window for The Bear Season 4, after nearly a month since the acclaimed comedy-drama had debuted its third season.
This also comes after The Bear had just scored 23 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series for Jeremy Allen White, and Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series for Ayo Edebiri. Just like its first two installment, Season 3 is still currently Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
What did FX boss John Landgraf say about The Bear Season 4?
During a recent interview, Landgraf confirmed that they’re still hoping to release The Bear Season 4 in 2025, despite not being able to shoot the fourth installment back-to-back with Season 3.
“We couldn’t bring it back sooner because of all of the film projects the actors are on right now. We started a show with a with a team of great actors,” Landgraf said (via Variety). “Now we have a show with a team of movie stars. They do have to go back for a chunk of production. And we actually haven’t seen all the scripts yet. We’ve seen most of them, but not all of them. I would say one of the things I just really like about The Bear, which is something I used to like about television, is the sense that things came back every year.”
He continued, “When you loved something, when you had an experience with it, it was a part of the year that you looked forward to. Now, not only do you often only get a very short period of time with a show, because it’s not a network show with 22 episodes that airs over 30 weeks, but very few shows come back annually. So I’m actually incredibly proud and grateful to the team at The Bear that have dedicated themselves — despite of all the other hoopla they’ve been dealing with — to bring this thing back annually. I can’t say for sure, but my guess is it’ll come back the same time next year.”
The comedy drama is written and created by Christopher Storer. It also stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Edwin Lee Gibson, and Matty Matheson. It is executive produced by Storer, Joanna Calo, Hiro Murai, Nate Matteson, and Josh Senior.
