What is The Bear about?
The series follows Carmy, an award-winning young chef from the world of fine dining, who returns home to Chicago to run his brother's Italian beef sandwich shop following a family tragedy.
In season four, Carmy and his team are determined not only to survive but to take their business to the next level.
The synopsis continues: "With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust and overcome. This season, the pursuit of excellence isn't just about getting better – it's about deciding what’s worth holding on to."
Will The Bear return with season 5?
We don't yet know if The Bear will be back with a fifth season, as it's yet to be renewed.
© FXFX boss John Landgraf previously told Variety that the decision is down to creator Christopher Storer's vision for the drama.
"These decisions are really creative decisions," he said.
"It's really Chris [Storer's] decision on The Bear. It's about how much more story does he have to tell?" he continued.
"It's about how much more story does he have to tell? I mean, obviously, I’m hoping he has more than one more season of story to tell. But not to the extent that if there was one great season or three mediocre ones, I’d rather have one great one. You just have to follow the creative."
The Bear is available to stream on Disney+ in the UK and on Hulu in the US.
