I feel like the show wants us to feel very sympathetic for Sydney but it's impossible, she's completely insufferable.

I'd heard this was the original plan but it didn't happen.

Yeah they shot three and four together

FX’s highly acclaimed, highly anticipated dysfunctional kitchen/family drama “The Bear” returned to Hulu yesterday, June 26, to much online fanfare (fans were binge-watching the series immediately). Created by Christopher Storer and co-showrun by Storer and Joanna Calo, the two sole directors on the series thus far aside from a Ramy Youseff (“Ramy”) directorial guest spot in season two and a new slate of directors scheduled for season three, earlier this year, it was reported that “The Bear” was scheduled to shoot season three and four back to back.

...

But that ambitious plan didn’t really happen as planned. For one, sources told The Playlist recently that the plan was scrapped as scripts weren’t ready in time.

And earlier this week, the cast essentially confirmed as much. We attended a press conference for “The Bear,” which included the aforementioned cast members plus Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Matty Matheson, and we put the question straight to the cast. Did seasons three and four shoot back to back, and if so, when will we expect season 4?

The cast played a little cagey, with Allen White saying, “We did something like that.” and Edebiri added, “Yeah, a little version of it, sort of. But not exactly.”

“Not exactly,” White added. “Is that helpful for journalism?” Edebiri quipped. “You’ll have to find out,” Abby Elliott concluded.

FX confirmed the cast’s statements: seasons three and four weren’t shot back to back, but some elements were shot in advance. However, how much of that is other than “a little” is unknown.

We’ve heard season 4 will resume production in early 2025, but that all might depend on the availability of the cast (though FX had no comment on this or any other aspect) ...
