The Bear is back!
After the season 3 finale cliffhanger last summer, the award-winning show is back for season 4 with more tension, friendship and of course, delicious food. The cast’s chemistry isn’t just evident on the red carpet and on screen — they’ve also created fun friendships while filming the show.
From on-set hangs to feasting on fish and chips, these are some of the sweetest moments shared between the cast of the The Bear in celebration of the show’s return on June 25.

Partners in Crime

And while there was hope from some fans that a romance might ignite between Edebiri’s Sydney and White’s Carmy on screen, following the show’s premiere Edebiri said she didn’t “think” it would happen.
White agreed, saying in 2022, “I hope for Sydney’s sake that’s not going to be explored in later seasons. I just love their relationship [as it is]: the amount of respect they have for one another, and that they have a shared history, even if it’s not together.”
“They’ve been through similar traumas and they really see one another,” he continued. “To add romance or sexuality would monkey up what I enjoy about their relationship.”
Peace Out

When the show’s first season was finally available on Hulu during the summer of 2022, Edebiri celebrated the occasion with a tribute on Instagram writing, “Best cast best crew best directors to accidentally match with best city I LOVE THE BEAR IM POSTING AGAIN AND IT’S MIXED MEDIA I DONT CARE.”
All in Good Fun

Included in the post was a silly selfie of herself with Matheson and Moss-Bachrach.
While accepting his 2024 Critics Choice Award for best supporting actor in a comedy series on Jan. 14, Moss-Bachrach said the opportunity to play Richie is “such a privilege”
“Really beautiful experience to take this man kind of from a tough place into the light,” he continued. “It’s not often you get to do that — to play joy. And it’s been a really wonderful, special, special experience for me.”

In May 2023, Edebiri shared a funny carousel of images on Instagram showing herself and Moss-Bachrach sitting down over a plate of fish and chips and striking a variety of poses with their fried meal.
“Enjoying British culture and cuisine! Travel! It’s the spice of life!,” Edebiri wrote.

The night marked the second time White won for his role as Carmy (he won again at the 2025 ceremony) and while accepting the award in 2023, he gave a big shoutout to everyone who worked on the show.
“My cast and crew: if I’m good, it is because you are good. So thank you, thank you so much,” he said before giving a sweet shoutout to his friends and colleagues: “You’ve changed my life. I am incredibly, incredibly, grateful.”
