While the FX family and fans worldwide celebrateThe Bear’s record-breaking Emmy nominations, the network’s boss,John Landgraf, has news regarding the award-winning series’ next season. Speaking withVarietyabout FX’s overall Emmy nods, including the network’s highest,Shōgun,with 25 nods andThe Bear’s 23 nominations— the most ever for a comedy — the exec touched on when the show’s fourth season may arrive on small screens, which could hopefully be next summer.
When asked about the possibility ofThe BearSeason 4premiering earlier than intended, Landgraf said, “We couldn’t bring it back sooner because of all of the film projects the actors are on right now. We started a show with a team of great actors. Now we have a show with a team of movie stars. They do have to go back for a chunk of production. And we actually haven’t seen all the scripts yet. We’ve seen most of them, but not all of them.”
He then revealed how much he lovesThe Bearreturning annually, which is something he always looks forward to, especially considering that very few shows were that lucky. Such consistency makes him proud of the series’ team, which he delightfully expressed while revealing when the next season may arrive. “So I’m actually incredibly proud and grateful to the team atThe Bearthat have dedicated themselves — despite of all the other hoopla they’ve been dealing with — to bring this thing back annually. I can’t say for sure, but my guess is it’ll come back the same time next year.”
