FX and Hulu set release date for final season of 'The Bear'

FX has announced that the fifth and final season of The Bear will premiere on June 25, with all eight episodes dropping simultaneously on Hulu, continuing the show’s binge-release tradition.

The critically acclaimed culinary drama left viewers on a tense cliffhanger in season four, as Carmy Berzatto and his team faced mounting financial pressure, uncertainty over the restaurant’s future and growing personal conflicts within the kitchen.

At the centre of the story is Jeremy Allen White’s Carmy, the talented yet emotionally troubled chef trying to transform his late brother’s sandwich shop into a world-class restaurant. Alongside him are Sydney Adamu, played by Ayo Edebiri, and Richie Jerimovich, portrayed by Ebon Moss-Bachrach, whose complicated relationships and personal growth have become a major emotional anchor of the series.

Created by Christopher Storer, The Bear first premiered in 2022 and quickly became a television phenomenon. The debut season won 10 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, while also cementing Jeremy Allen White as one of television’s leading stars. Season two earned 11 Emmy wins, while season three received 13 nominations. The fourth season remains eligible for this year’s awards cycle, with the final instalment expected to compete in 2027 categories.
