About
The Bear follows Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a fine-dining chef who returns to Chicago to run his family's Italian beef sandwich shop. Season 4 filmed primarily in Chicago from late 2025 into early 2026, with crew spotted at the Music Box Theatre, a Wicker Park laundromat, and a South Loop basketball court. The show continues to use Mr. Beef at 666 North Orleans Street as "The Beef," while interior kitchen scenes are shot at Cinespace Chicago Film Studios (2621 West 15th Place), which houses 36 sound stages. Additional scenes were filmed at Loyola University Chicago's Water Tower Campus and the Alpana restaurant at 831 North State Street. Suburban shoots took place in Skokie, Evanston, and Glenview. The show has become a cultural phenomenon, boosting tourism to Chicago's restaurant scene and earning multiple Emmy Awards.
