The actor has played the lead role of Carmy, a chef who reinvents his family business, for all four seasons of the hit Disney+ show. The role has propelled the actor to international stardom, as well as winning him three Golden Globes and two Emmys.

“The fourth season was going to be the last,” he replied. “Chris [Storer, creator and co-showrunner] called me on Christmas Eve last year and was like, ‘We’re gonna do some more.’ And, I don’t know, that could happen again around this holiday time. There’s no plans for it to be the last.”
He added: “There’s no plans right now for us to do more. I think it’s just all dependent on what Chris wants to do. But if it was up to me? I just feel so lucky to read Chris’ words, and also to work with these actors who’ve become some of my best friends, so I’d do it for a very long time.”
Jeremy Allen White recently appeared as Bruce Springsteen in the biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, playing The Boss at the time of the recording of 1982 album ‘Nebraska’. The film’s director, Scott Cooper, has revealed that the singer has plans for a follow up film.
