The third season of FX’s hit seriesThe Bearcooked hard! The latest season continued to build upon the acclaim received by the past seasons andserved as another installment of a deliciously chaotic kitchen and tangled relationships within. The success of the first two seasons led to the renewal of the series for a fourth season, which was filmed back-to-back with Season. The next installment is highly anticipated by the fans who are also expecting renewal for another season, finally, in a new interview with Variety, Fx bossJohn Landgraf, revealed the streamer’s plans.
“We really don’t know. These decisions are really creative decisions,” said Landgraf when enquired whether the fourth season can be final. He further citedSterlin Harjo’s decision to endReservation Dogswith a three-season arc, adding that it’s “really Chris Storer’s decision” to continueThe Bearpost the fourth season. He explained,
“It’s about, how much more story does he have to tell? I mean, obviously, I’m hoping he has more than one more season of story to tell. But not to the extent that if there was one great season or three mediocre ones, I’d rather have one great one. You just have to follow the creative.”
Landgraf’s comments about leaving the decision upon show creatorChris Storeris a wise one, given creatives know their stories best. Finding the right note to leave a series on is always a tricky decision – leave too early and, risk fans’ dissatisfaction or get too late and risk losing eyeballs. With recent news ofThe Boystoo coming to an end with the fifth and final season is a good example of creatives deciding to leave on a high note.
