Last March, it was reported by Screen Magazine that the awarding-winning show, The Bear, was actually filming both Seasons 3 and 4 simultaneously. This unexpected news led to much speculation about the fate of Season Four. And it sparked the all-important question: Will there be filming for The Bear Season 4 in Chicago in 2025, or has Season 4 been fully completed?
It has now been confirmed that Season 4 of The Bear was only partially finished. The popular FX series has returned to Chicago and will be filming until at least March. Approximately half of The Bear Season 4 is believed to be still left to shoot.
Returning cast members include Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Abby Elliott, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Matty Matheson, with Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon returning in their recurring roles as Uncle Jimmy and Claire, respectively.
