FX has unveiled the trailer for the fourth season of its Emmy-winning series, 'The Bear,' set to premiere on June 25, 2025, on Hulu. The new season casts Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) into a high-stakes scenario as they race against a countdown clock installed by investor Jimmy Cicero (Oliver Platt).

The ultimatum is clear: when the clock hits zero, the restaurant must shut down.

This looming deadline adds urgency to the team's efforts to stabilize and elevate 'The Bear,' their fine dining establishment launched at the end of Season 3. Sydney faces a tempting offer from another restaurant, challenging her commitment to the current venture, while Richie attempts to rebuild his personal life post-divorce.
