The heat in the kitchen isn’t dying down anytime soon as hit showThe Bearhas just been quietly renewed for season 4 – even though the upcomingthird seasonhasn’t even finished filming yet.

As initially reported byDeadline, multiple sources have stated that The Bear season 4 is indeed happening, although a formal confirmation of the renewal from streaming service Hulu is yet to be announced. The outlet notes that a spokesperson for FX, which makes the award-winning show, declined to comment – however, we don’t think it’ll be long now until an official statement is made.

There’s also the matter that due to the huge success of The Bear, the show’s cast are becoming increasingly booked and busy, so the hope is that they can film the next seasons before their diaries become too full. For example, Ayo Edebiri (Sydney) will soon be working on theupcoming sequel toTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, whilst Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richie) isjoining the MCUportraying The Thing inMarvel’s Fantastic Four.

Naturally then, there is plenty of speculation as to whether this fourth season will be the show’s last. However, according to Deadline a season 5 still remains a possibility, so we may still be saying ‘yes chef’ in the years to come.

The Bear airs on Hulu in the US and onDisneyPlus in the UK. For what else to stream, check out our guides to thebest Disney Plus showsand thebest Hulu showsavailable now.
