The Bear is back and ready to be binged. Here's what you need to know
The FX dramedy The Bear arrived on Disney+ in the winter of 2022, and unlike a lot of award-winning TV, this series has stuck to a yearly release schedule, always arriving in late June. So get ready to start hearing 'Yes, chef!' during everyday interactions.
Season 4 debuted in full in Australia on June 26, returning viewers to the eclectic, vibrant Chicago food scene and the struggling restaurant at the heart of the story, the Bear. At the end of last season, Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), the Bear's chef and co-owner, had just received a review in The Chicago Tribune that might determine whether or not his place stays open. But viewers still don't know what it says.
They almost certainly will find out in the new episodes, though Christopher Storer, the creator of The Bear, likes to keep the show unpredictable. Here are some things to keep in mind going into the new season.

Gareth Edwards: I'm very happy to move on from Star Wars
Gareth Edwards was "very happy to move on" from the Star Wars franchise. The 50-year-old filmmaker helmed 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but Gareth doesn't have any intention of returning to the sci-fi franchise. Asked if he'd ever make another Star Wars movie, Gareth told Business Insider: "I'm very happy to move on and do my thing." Despite this, Gareth remains a huge fan of the Star Wars movies. He said: "It's the thing that was in my life before I knew what a film was. "It's like your mom; it's like something that's a part of you. I'm always fascinated by what they're doing. I never stop loving that trilogy." Fan sentiment towards Rogue One has become kinder in recent years. But Gareth has downplayed the suggestion that his movie - which starred the likes of Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, and Forest Whitaker - is the best Star Wars film since Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012. The director said: "I don't agree with it, but I appreciate it. I'm very grateful that people say nice things." Gareth has encouraged cinemagoers to judge movies over a long period of time, rather than jumping to conclusions. The filmmaker shared: "What you have to keep in your pocket as you go through making other films is that it's not about how people feel the day it gets released, it's how people feel about it 10, 20 years from now. "When you make a movie, you're living at least a year from now, you're trying to imagine what it's like, all these decisions you're making, what they are going to be like a year from now when this movie is released, what's the audience going to think? "And as the movie comes out, you go, 'I'm going to pretend I'm living ten years from now, and it doesn't matter what people say in the moment.' It's the kid who comes up to you 20 years from now and goes, 'Oh my god, I loved that movie!' I think that's the reward." Meanwhile, Gareth previously hailed Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope as the movie that changed his life. The director admitted to being obsessed with the film during his younger years. He told the Guardian newspaper: "I don't remember exactly when I first saw A New Hope; it's always just sort of existed for me. It's the only film that I don't remember actually sitting down to watch for the very first time. "From the age of about six I watched it every day for at least a couple of years. I must have seen it more than 200 times. My mum remembers me quoting it word for word on long car journeys. I once did the entire script."

Jeremy Allen White 'felt under pressure playing Bruce Springsteen'
Jeremy Allen White has felt the "pressure" playing Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere. The 34-year-old actor plays the music icon in the upcoming biopic film, and Jeremy has admitted to feeling under pressure before the first trailer was released. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor explained: "Getting that out, it was so much pressure. "You're playing a real person — nevermind Bruce Springsteen — and I was really touched [when] the trailer came out. I had more texts than when I blacked out and won that Golden Globe [for The Bear]." Jeremy admitted to being surprised by the level of interest in the trailer. The actor - who also played Phillip 'Lip' Gallagher in Shameless, the hit comedy-drama series, from 2011 until 2021 - said: "I didn't realise trailers were that big of a thing." Earlier this month, Bruce observed that Jeremy was "very tolerant" of him on the set of the biopic. The rock legend revealed that Jeremy was gracious during his visits to the film's set. Springsteen, 75 - who is one of the best-selling artists of all time - told Rolling Stone magazine: "Jeremy Allen White was very, very tolerant of me the days that I would appear on the set. "I said to him, 'Look, anytime I'm in the way, just give me the look and I'm on my way home.' So the days that I got out there, he was wonderfully tolerant with me being there. And it was just fun. It was enjoyable." The new movie explores "some of the most painful days" of Springsteen's life. And the chart-topping star actually made a conscious effort to avoid the film's set on certain days. He explained: "I mean, there's some unusualness to it because the movie involves, in some ways, some of the most painful days of my life. "If there was a scene coming up that was sometimes really deeply personal, I wanted the actors to feel completely free, and I didn't want to get in the way, and so I would just stay at home."
