FX is making sure it hangs on to the hit series The Bear for as long as it can. The break-out series raked in acclaim and awards for its second season, and it's currently in production on a third season that should premier this summer. But the network is wasting no time in ensuring that the series will be around even longer, as it renewed The Bear this week for a season 4 that will begin production as soon as the third season production is completed.

While “The Bear” is currently in production on Season 3, sources confirm to Variety that FX is already cooking up Season 4, which will film back to back with the third season.
FX renewed the Chicago-set restaurant dramedy for Season 3 in November and has not announced a Season 4 renewal. A spokesperson for the network declined to comment.
“The Bear” Season 3 is gearing up for a June premiere on Hulu, as various paparazzi shots of the ensemble filming in Chicago have leaked over the last couple of weeks. It’s unclear whether the fourth season of “The Bear” will be its last.
Season 3 is poised to ride the momentum of the series’ triumphant awards season, which saw Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss-Bachrach clean up at the Primetime Emmys, where creator Christopher Storer also won the top prize for comedy series, as well as for outstanding directing and writing for Season 1. White and Edebiri also picked up Golden Globes and SAG Awards, among other honors, for Season 2.
The series, which also stars Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott and Matty Matheson — and has featured a starry lineup of guests including Jon Bernthal, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bob Odenkirk, Will Poulter, John Mulaney, Olivia Colman, Sarah Paulson, Molly Ringwald and Joel McHale.
