Carmy faces the fire again: ‘The Bear' season 4 premieres this week
FX's acclaimed restaurant drama The Bear is back with its highly anticipated fourth season premiering on June 26, 2025. The series, which has become a cultural phenomenon since its debut in 2022, continues to follow the intense and emotional journey of chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto and his crew as they try to keep their fine-dining Chicago restaurant afloat.
The new season picks up right where Season 3 left off: Carmy, played by Jeremy Allen White, has just read a brutal review of his restaurant, The Bear—one that threatens the stability of everything he's been trying to build. The fallout promises to send ripples through his personal life, especially his relationships with Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Claire (Molly Gordon).
As in previous seasons, the cast remains strong, with Edebiri, Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and Oliver Platt all returning. Jamie Lee Curtis also reprises her Emmy-nominated role as Carmy's mother, Donna, whose chaotic presence continues to haunt the Berzatto family dynamic.
Season 4 also marks a creative expansion behind the scenes. Both Ayo Edebiri and Lionel Boyce co-wrote an episode this season—an exciting first for the actors, and a reflection of the show's collaborative spirit under creator Christopher Storer and co-showrunner Joanna Calo.
Shot back-to-back with Season 3, the fourth season dives deeper into the high-stakes world of fine dining while continuing to explore themes of anxiety, perfectionism, and unresolved trauma—often under the pressure cooker of a bustling kitchen.
With ten new episodes and the series' trademark blend of chaos, comedy, and heartbreak, The Bear is once again ready to serve something unforgettable.

Lisa Kudrow revives Valerie Cherish for a shocking final season of ‘The Comeback'
Lisa Kudrow is stepping back into the high heels of Valerie Cherish, one of TV's most tragically hilarious characters, for a third season of HBO's The Comeback. HBO announced the news just after the show marked its 20th anniversary, with Kudrow and co-creator Michael Patrick King reuniting for what's being called the final season. But let's be real, after premieres in 2005, 2014, and now 2026, that word has lost all meaning. Production begins this summer, and Kudrow will be joined once again by Dan Bucatinsky as Valerie's endlessly frazzled publicist, Laura Silverman as the stoic reality producer Jane, and Damian Young as her ever-patient husband Mark. The late Robert Michael Morris, who played Valerie's lovable hairdresser Mickey, will be notably missed. The first season of The Comeback followed Valerie, a washed-up sitcom actress clawing her way back into relevance as she starred in a horrifically bad show, all while being filmed for a reality series. What unfolded was a painfully sharp look at fame, ego, and Hollywood's brutal treatment of women. It bombed with critics at first, only to become a cult classic. After its abrupt cancellation, Valerie's catchphrases and cringe-worthy moments lived on, turning her into a pop culture icon. The 2014 revival earned both Kudrow and King Emmy nods and solidified the show's status as a misunderstood gem. Now, over a decade later, Valerie returns scarred, seasoned, and still desperately seeking validation. When we last saw her, she skipped her Emmy win to be at Mickey's side in the hospital, a shocking moment of selflessness. But can a woman like Valerie ever truly grow… or will she always be performing? Either way, Kudrow's comeback as Valerie promises to be as biting and brilliant as ever.

Denis Villeneuve to helm next 'Bond' film
Oscar-nominated Denis Villeneuve will direct the next James Bond film, Amazon's MGM Studios said on Wednesday, taking charge of one of Hollywood's most enigmatic spies and longest-running movie series, as per Reuters. Villeneuve, the Canadian film director and writer, has earned critical acclaim for films such as Sicario, Dune, Dune: Part Two, Blade Runner 2049, and Arrival. He was nominated for Best Director at the 2017 Oscars for sci-fi film Arrival, which starred Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, and for Best Adapted Screenplay for Dune, based on author Frank Herbert's highly acclaimed 1965 novel of the same name, at the 2022 Oscars. "Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr No with Sean Connery, said Villeneuve said in a statement. "I'm a die-hard Bond fan," he continued. " To me, he's sacred territory. I intend to honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come. This is a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour. " The upcoming Bond film will be the first under Amazon's MGM Studios, which took creative control of the film franchise under a new joint venture with longtime rights holders Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli earlier this year. As previously announced, Amy Pascal and David Heyman will serve as producers for the Bond venture. However, the franchise is yet to name a new lead actor following Daniel Craig's departure after No Time to Die in 2021, which earned nearly $800 million in global box office collections. Inspired by Ian Fleming's novels, the Bond franchise has spanned over 60 years, grossing more than $7 billion at the global box office, making it one of the most successful ever. As per Deadline, the Bond directing gig has been the most closely watched in Hollywood ever since Amazon MGM acquired full creative control of the franchise in February.
