Brie Larson joins the kitchens
Oscar winner Brie Larson is stepping into 'The Bear' universe for Season 4 in a role described as vital. Though details are being kept under wraps, insiders hint her character brings both gravitas and friction to Carmy's finely tuned or maybe fraying operation.
Francie Fak: A newcomer
Francie Fak is another newcomer with buzz. Reports point to her joining the series in a supporting role under the name Francine Fak. It's unclear whether this is a character name or a nod to cult-favourite chef Neil Fak Fak (played by Matty Matheson).
Either way, Fak seems primed to stir things up in the kitchen.
Returning favourites
The core cast includes Jeremy Allen White as Carmy, Ayo Edebiri as Sydney, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie, Lionel Boyce as Marcus, Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina, Abby Elliott as Natalie, and Matty Matheson as Fak, who will all return. Rest, Jamie Lee Curtis reprises her role as Donna Belazzato in a recurring arc, Oliver Platt as Cicero, and Molly Gordon as Claire returns for recurring appearances.
Notably, Ayo Edebiri and Lionel Boyce make their writing debuts, co-penning an episode, a creative expansion following Edebiri's direction of Season 3's 'Napkins.'
Premise and the premiere date recap
The story picks up immediately after Season 3's cliffhanger: Carmy faces the fallout from a cryptic Chicago Tribune review, and Sydney weighs a high-stakes career move.
All 10 episodes of Season 4 will premiere simultaneously on June 25, 2025, on FX on Hulu and internationally via Disney+.
Further, Season 4 is shaping up to be 'The Bear's' most expansive yet, both in storytelling depth and star power. With heavyweight additions and creative growth among the original team, don't expect anything short of a red-hot comeback.

‘Ballad of a Small Player' trailer out: Colin Farrell races against time in Edward Berger's psychological thriller
The first teaser for 'Ballad of the Small Player', starring Colin Farrell, has been released, offering a dark and gripping glimpse into one of the year's most anticipated psychological thrillers. Directed by Edward Berger (well-known for Oscar-winning 'Conclave'), the film is adapted from Lawrence Osborne's 2014 novel and follows Lord Doyle (Farrell), a troubled gambler hiding out in Macau. Doyle spends his days on casino floors, drinking and betting away what little he has left—until he crosses paths with Dao Ming, a mysterious casino employee played by Fala Chen. She offers him a chance at redemption, though it soon becomes clear she has secrets of her own. Also in pursuit is private investigator Cynthia Blithe, portrayed by Tilda Swinton, who is determined to confront Doyle with the truth he's trying to escape. As the tension builds, the line between reality and illusion begins to blur, setting the stage for a haunting exploration of guilt, survival, and identity. The teaser hints at a moody, noir-inspired atmosphere, with neon-lit cityscapes, tense casino scenes, and Farrell at the centre of it all—broken, desperate, and trying to outrun his past. The film is written by Rowan Joffé and also features Deanie Ip and Alex Jennings in key roles. It is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, as part of the prestigious Special Presentations section. 'Ballad of the Small Player' will have a limited theatrical release in the United States on October 15 and in the United Kingdom on October 17, before launching globally on Netflix on October 29. With a strong cast and a director known for psychological depth, 'Ballad of the Small Player' is shaping up to be one of the standout thrillers of the year.
