While The Bear is currently in production on Season 3, sources confirm to Variety that FX is already cooking up Season 4, which will film back to back with the third season. FX renewed the Chicago-set restaurant dramedy for Season 3 in November and has not announced a Season 4 renewal.
Pete Hammond of Deadline on Fox’s broadcast of the awards show, its celebration of TV after the strike-induced delay, as well as his “severe case of déjà vu”: “It is as if in this vast TV universe of networks, streamers, cable, You Tube and more content that a human being could ever consume, the people who vote for awards have only seen three shows.”
HBO’s Succession and FX’s The Bear led all shows with six wins each, including Outstanding Drama and Comedy Series, respectively. Netflix’s Beef took five trophies including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. HBO’s now-wrapped Succession also was an Emmys force, with six big wins including its third for Outstanding Drama Series. Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook won Best Actor and Actress in a Drama, and Matthew Macfadyen went back-to-back in the Supporting Actor in a Drama category. It also won for Directing and Writing for a Drama Series.
The final season of Succession cleaned up on the television side. It won best drama series for the third time, a mark that ties a record set by Mad Men and The X-Files. Three stars from the HBO series also won: Matt Macfadyen, Sarah Snook and Kieran Culkin. Hulu’s The Bear also came away with a trio of awards, including best comedy series.
