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.
Here's everything we know about The Bear season 5.
Is there going to be a season 5 of The Bear?
Yes, we're getting The Bear season 5! "The Bear continues to be a fan favorite worldwide and their response to this season—as seen through incredibly high viewership—has been as spectacular as any of its previous seasons,” FX chairman John Landgraf told Variety. “Year-in and year-out, Chris Storer, the producers, cast and crew make The Bear one of the best shows on television, and we are excited that they will continue to tell this magnificent story.”
Where can I watch The Bear season 5?
The Bear season 5 will premiere on FX and Hulu! We've gotten a new season every year since 2022 so it's safe to assume we could see season 5 in 2026. Although it's important to note Ayo Edebiri, Jeremy Allen White, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are quite the popular trio in Hollywood right now so hopefully all their upcoming movies don't mess with The Bear release date!
