Spoilers ahead for The Bear season 4!
The Bear season 4 ending was definitely a shocker — after four seasons of anxiety and constant yelling, Carmy realizes he doesn't find joy in cooking anymore, and that his inclination for chaos is actually impeding the restaurant. But the real problem is that Sydney finds out through the grapevine rather than from Carmy himself, and they spend the entire finale arguing about his decision before Richie and Natalie come out and join them. A lot of critics are heralding the finale, titled "Goodbye," as the perfect series finale but FX finally let us know that The Bear season 5 is on the way — and the fifth season will be its last.
Here's everything we know about The Bear season 5.
