The Bear season 3 just came out, and as usual, was able to stun fans with its tension-filled episodes that all built up to another great cliffhanger, which the season ended on. And also, as usual, we got to hear some great songs that perfectly matched the mood of the episodes. 

From Taylor Swift, Adrianne Lenker, and Joyce Manor, to David Bowie, Eddie Vader, The Sundays, and Nine Inch Nails, these episodes had a song for every mood set in the scenes. Some of them, like the 10th and last episode titled Forever, were a little more needle-drop-heavy than the others. Episode 2 titled Doors, on the other hand, set a completely different mood in the episode with its use of classical music.

The Bear season 4 might be coming soon 


Fans of The Bear are very agitated as the third season ended with a massive cliffhanger where the future of the restaurant itself hangs in the balance. The soundtracks were also able to perfectly match the pace of the episodes. 

However, a few months ago, Variety reported that The Bear season 4 is already in the making. And even though we have no official news as of yet, it could mean that the fans won’t have to wait for the next season for too long.
