It¡¯s official. All ten episodes of The Bear Season 4 are now available to stream on Hulu, and fans can finally see what¡¯s next for Carmy and his crew. Jeremy Allen White returns in his Emmy-winning role as Carmen ¡°Carmy¡± Berzatto, the obsessive chef trying to keep his restaurant dreams alive, while Ayo Edebiri is back as Sydney, his ambitious yet uncertain partner in the kitchen. The entire season, consisting of 10 episodes, dropped at once, giving fans the chance to binge-watch the latest chapter without waiting week by week. After a long wait since the end of Season 3, this release is already drawing major attention from viewers and critics alike.
As the social media buzz around the show builds and you don¡¯t have a Hulu subscription (or just can¡¯t justify the expense at month-end), we¡¯ve got you covered with legal ways to watch without burning a hole in your pocket and feeling shady.?
If you¡¯ve somehow missed it until now, The Bear is more than a show about food. It follows Carmy, a fine-dining chef who returns to Chicago after his brother¡¯s death to take over the family¡¯s humble sandwich shop. What starts as an act of grief becomes a chaotic, deeply emotional journey through trauma, guilt, and survival.
Alongside Carmy is Sydney, a rising culinary talent who sees potential in both the food and the team, and Richie (played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach), whose growth from season to season has quietly become one of the show¡¯s most powerful arcs. The kitchen becomes a pressure cooker for all their lives, and every episode unpacks something deeper¡ªburnout, loss, perfectionism, and how we cling to purpose when everything feels unsteady. If you¡¯re tuning in now, it¡¯s worth watching from the beginning. The emotional payoff builds season by season.
The Bear Season 3 left things on an uneasy note. The new restaurant had finally opened, but the victory was complicated. Carmy locked himself in the walk-in cooler during service and spiralled, emotionally cutting himself off from the people around him. Sydney started to question her future at the restaurant. Relationships that were already fragile started to break.
The Bear Season 4 picks up in that same tension, as Carmy is more isolated than ever, still chasing something no one else fully understands. Sydney, who once believed in the vision, is now weighing the emotional toll. Richie is trying to hold it all together in his own way. What you can expect is a deeper look at how creative passion can burn out, how leadership becomes lonely, and how not everyone survives the pressure. But through all of it, the show still finds room for humour and moments that hit harder than you would expect.
If you¡¯re not trying to add another subscription to your already long list of monthly bills, here¡¯s some good news: The Bear Season 4 can still be watched for free if you play your cards right. These are all legal options, and they¡¯re super simple if you know where to look and what to click.
1. Use Hulu¡¯s 30-day free trial
If you¡¯ve never signed up for Hulu before, they still offer a 30-day free trial for new users. That¡¯s a full month of access to everything on the platform, including all four seasons of The Bear. You just sign up, start streaming, and if you¡¯re not interested in keeping the subscription, cancel it before the trial ends.
2. Try Hulu + Live TV¡¯s shorter trial
If you¡¯ve already used the regular Hulu trial in the past, there¡¯s another option: Hulu + Live TV. It¡¯s a more expensive plan, but it usually comes with a 3-day free trial. That might sound short, but if you¡¯re planning to binge The Bear Season 4 in a weekend or even over two evenings, it¡¯s doable. Plus, you get access to the full Hulu library, including all past seasons and the new one.
3. Take advantage of the Disney Bundle trial..
There¡¯s also the Disney+ Bundle, which includes Hulu (with ads), Disney+, and ESPN+. Sometimes, this bundle comes with a free trial too, especially if you¡¯re a first-time user of one or more of the included services. It¡¯s a good way to get access to The Bear while also checking out everything else Disney+ and ESPN+ have to offer. Again, just make sure to cancel before the trial is over if you¡¯re not planning to keep it.
Hulu is only available in the U.S., so if you're watching from somewhere like India, the UK, or Europe, you¡¯ll need to do a bit of a workaround:
Option 1: Use a VPN that lets you change your location to the U.S., then sign up for Hulu just like any American viewer would.
Option 2: Check Disney+ in your country. In many international regions, The Bear is available there instead of Hulu. It might already be included in your existing Disney+ subscription.
Go to Hulu.com (or the app) and click ¡°Start Free Trial¡±.
Choose the standard plan to get the 30-day free trial.
Create your account and add payment info (they won¡¯t charge if you cancel on time).
Start watching The Bear Season 4 right away.
Cancel before the trial ends if you don¡¯t want to be billed.
If you¡¯ve already used Hulu before, try the Live TV trial or check if you¡¯re eligible for the Disney+ bundle trial.
