The Bear Season 5 streams on Hulu in June
The Bear will officially conclude its run this summer. The award-winning kitchen drama returns for its fifth and final season on June 25, 2026. According to Hulu, all eight episodes of the new season will drop simultaneously in the United States on release day.
The fifth and final season of The Bear covers what happened after Carmy steps away from the restaurant business. He leaves Sydney, Richie, and Natalie responsible for keeping the struggling operation afloat. With financial problems escalating and uncertainty surrounding the restaurant’s future, the remaining team members are forced to take control during the most critical moment the business has faced so far.
According to the official logline, “With no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm in their way, the new partners must band together with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping they’ll finally earn a Michelin star. Ultimately, they learn that what makes a restaurant ‘perfect’ might not be the food, but the people.”
Returning cast members include Jeremy Allen White as Carmy Berzatto, Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie Jerimovich, and Abby Elliott as Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto. The cast also features Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Matty Matheson.
Created by Christopher Storer, the series first premiered in 2022 and quickly became one of FX’s most acclaimed productions. It currently holds a 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Over the years, the comedy-drama gained widespread popularity through strong critical response, award-winning performances, and multiple Emmy wins.
