The Bear Season 4: Expert Tips to Stream for Free
Looks like you haven’t mastered free streaming yet, so let me walk you through snagging The Bear Season 4 without spending a cent. This FX on Hulu hit, starring Jeremy Allen White as the perpetually frazzled chef Carmy Berzatto, dropped its fourth chapter on June 13—and yes, I’m here to explain how you can binge every messy, high-stakes moment on the house.
First off, The Bear Season 4 continues Carmy’s quest to salvage The Beef and survive Chicago’s brutal restaurant scene. Alongside fan favorites Ayo Edebiri’s Sydney, Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s Richie and Jon Bernthal’s Josh, the new installments promise fresh kitchen chaos and deeper character arcs. Critics at People Magazine call it “the most deliciously tense season yet,” while Variety raves about its “bleak humor and spot-on culinary realism.” So you’ll want front-row access—and you probably shouldn’t be paying if you can help it.
Here’s how to score that zero-cost pass. If you’re new to Hulu, they’re still dangling a 30-day free trial (via Hulu’s official site). Sign up, binge the five premiere episodes released June 13, then cancel before day 31—no hidden fees. As TVLine reports, rolling trial sign-ups are limited, so act fast. Prefer bundles? Check Disney+’s Student Plan (with Hulu and ESPN+)—sometimes they tweak in a one-week Hulu trial for fresh subs. Don’t forget promos through mobile carriers or cable providers; Verizon and T-Mobile have dangled Hulu deals in the past, so ring customer service to negotiate.
If Hulu’s trial window has closed (again), consider the FX on Hulu digital app. It occasionally unlocks episodes “on demand” for a few days post-premiere—an ad-supported teaser before locking it behind the paywall. You’ll need to camp on social channels like X (@FXNetworks) or Instagram DM alerts to know exactly when they drop.
Outside the US? In Canada, Crave offers a 7-day free trial and streams The Bear day-and-date. Australians can peek via Binge’s two-week free trial, though you’ll need a VPN set to Sydney to fool the geo-block. I’m sure you can handle that.
Of course, if you already subscribed months ago, congratulations—you can just fire up Hulu or FX on Hulu and dive right in. But for the rest of you frugal viewers, these tricks should keep your bank account intact while you ride Carmy’s roller coaster. Hopefully that wasn’t *too* complicated—now you can feast on Season 4 like you always meant to. Well, now you finally understand!
