Year in and year out, Chris Storer, the producers, cast, and crew make The Bear one of the best shows on television, and we are excited that they will continue to tell this magnificent story.“
The fourth season of The Bear saw White’s Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, Ayo Edebiri’s Sydney Adamu, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s Richard “Richie” Jerimovich join forces to guarantee the survival of the titular restaurant. The trio also makes a sincere attempt to take The Bear to the next level, but soon realizes that fulfilling such a dream requires several sacrifices.
