The Sweetest — and Silliest — Behind-The-Scenes Photos of “The Bear” Cast

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.

Family Dinner

Ahead of the June 25 premiere, Jeremy Allen White dropped a carousel of images to his Instagram, including a group shot of many of the cast members gathered around a dinner table.

The fun pic includes an incognito White crouched in a corner and across from Lionel Boyce, Ricky Staffieri, Liza Colón-Zayas Matty Matheson, Abby Elliott, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Ayo Edebiri.

Keep It Rolling

At a dinner for the cast and producers of the show at Musso & Frank Grill in Hollywood, White and Matheson took a break from the glitz and glam to roll some dice on the blue carpet.

A Happy Reunion

The night was filled with some sweet moments caught on camera including this high energy shot of Edebiri, White and Matheson.

Bring It In

And once inside, White shared a hug with his onscreen childhood friend and “cousin” Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Dog Days

Edebiri shared her own carousel ahead of the premiere, including this sweet pic of White showing off his toned arms and tattoos while catching up with a tiny pup on set.

Lights, Camera…

In another shot, Colón-Zayas is in character as Tina, holding up a stack of résumés and a copy of The Exorcist.

The actress took home the award for best supporting actress in a comedy at the 76th annual Emmy Awards in September 2024.

Time to Caffinate

Moss-Bachrach had a laugh as he grabbed a coffee cup with his character’s name on it.

Sweet Treat

Boyce, who plays pastry chef Marcus, posed next to a stick of pink cotton candy that has been swirled bigger than his head.

Dynamic Trio

Edebiri, Moss-Bachrach and White’s characters are on a constant relationship rollercoaster between love, frustration and sometimes straight-up anger. You would never know it, though, based on this sweet photo of the award-winning trio.

Off-Camera Hang

White, Edebiri and Matheson took a seat together during some down time while filming season two of the hit series.

Getting Into Character

Though tensions sometimes run high on screen, the cast seems to share lots of smiles between takes. In this shot, Boyce has a moment with Moss-Bachrach.

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

Edebiri shared a series of photos in celebration of the show’s second season as well, including this one with Colón-Zayas.

Caught on Camera

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.”

Order Up!

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.

Showing Support

Edebiri and White both went home winners after the 2024 Golden Globes after both winning for their performances in The Bear. They shared a sweet hug celebrating the big moment.

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.”

Winner’s Circle

The entire case was in good spirits at the 2024 Golden Globes as they took home the award for best comedy or musical series. While celebrating in the press room, Moss-Bachrach threw up his hands and was caught in this hilarious shot.
