Watch The Bear Season 4: Preview

The dramatic stakes are higher this season than the actual steaks at The Bear are cooked to perfection, as Chef Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) grapples with his own personal demons and a financial crisis that could see his Chi-town restaurant close in less than sixty days. Get ready to devour another batch of intensely entertaining episodes with our guide below, where we explain how to watch The Bear Season 4 online and stream every episode for free now and from anywhere with a VPN.

Created by Christopher Storer, the critically acclaimed dramedy returns as Carmy, sous-chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), line cook Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas), and hot-headed maître d Ritchie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) fight for the future of The Bear, promising more of the same exquisitely acted family drama and blood pressure-raising kitchen chaos that earned it a whopping 21 Primetime Emmy Awards.

We’ve come a long way since talented chef Carmen returned home and transformed his late brother Mikey’s sandwich shop The Original Beef of Chicagoland into fine dining establishment The Bear. But financial woes and Carmy’s desire to prove himself could quickly shutter the restaurant’s doors. When Season 4 begins, there aren’t any more cash-stuffed tins of tomatoes to find: just key investor Cicero with a timer counting down, and warning that, “When that shows zero, this restaurant needs to cease operations.”

So far, Carmy’s quest for perfection hasn’t helped much. His exacting list of “non-negotiables” alienated his staff, and his increasingly toxic behavior is making it incredibly tempting for Sydney to accept the Chef de Cuisine post that Adam has offered her. We’re yet to discover the cliffhanger consequences of that Chicago Tribune review that had Carmen seeing red at the end of last season, but it seems like he's on the cusp of stepping up, taking responsibility, and salvaging his closest relationships and his business. “We could make it calm,” he implores Sydney in the trailer. “We could make it delicious. We can make people happy.”

With an average 96% Rotten Tomatoes score, it's undeniably one of the best shows currently on TV. And, though Season 3 almost lost the show its Michelin star, Lauren Sarner of The New York Post countered that, ‘“Despite its flaws in narrative focus — or lack thereof — “The Bear” remains an emotional show filled with top performances.”

We can't wait for these 10 new episodes worthy of of a chef’s kiss, and, as we explain in the following, you can watch The Bear Season 4 online now, free to new Hulu subscribers and from anywhere with a VPN.
