FX has officially renewed its Emmy-winning culinary dramedy The Bear for a fifth season, set to premiere in 2026. The announcement arrives just days after Season 4 dropped on FX on Hulu on June 25, reflecting a swift greenlight following strong audience response.
Why The Bear Season 5 Is Coming?
FX Chairman John Landgraf praised the show’s popularity, saying:
“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.”
He credited creator Chris Storer, the ensemble cast, and crew for making The Bear “one of the best shows on television,” affirming FX’s commitment to continuing the story.
What to Expect in The Bear Season 5?
- Release Year: Expected in mid‑2026. FX and production sources suggest a summer timeframe, though no exact date has been revealed.
- Storyline Continuation: Season 4 ended on a dramatic note—with Carmy stepping away and handing over the restaurant to Sydney, Natalie, and Richie—creating fertile ground for new arcs and leadership dynamics in Season 5.
- Cast Availability: Despite busy schedules—Jeremy Allen White (Carmy) preparing for his Bruce Springsteen role, and Ayo Edebiri and Ebon Moss‑Bachrach pursuing high‑profile projects—FX confirmed filming will accommodate key cast members since Seasons 3 and 4 were filmed back‑to‑back.
At Last:
The Bear Season 5 is officially on the way—no cliffhanger left unresolved. With its high viewership and strong critical acclaim, FX is keeping chef Carmy and the crew cooking through 2026. Whether you’re rooting for Sydney’s leadership or craving more of Carmy’s emotional journey, fans have plenty to look forward to.
