The Bears’ fans finally have a date for one of TV’s most acclaimed dramas. FX has announced that it will be the final season of the show, ending Carmy Berzatto’s crazy restaurant adventure. The final season will air on June 25, 2026, and will be available for streaming right away in the U.S. on Hulu. The series has since won numerous Emmys and received critical praise, but now it’s about to go out with a bang.
Season 5 Is Officially the Final Season
In May 2026, FX announced that The Bear would be the fifth and final season. The short-term impact of the decision is the end of one of the most successful television dramas of the decade, which ran for four years.
The Premiere Date Is June 25, 2026
The last season will start on June 25th, 2026. The eight episodes will be released one by one every week, but U.S. viewers will have the opportunity to watch them all at once when they come out on Hulu.
Carmy Has Left the Restaurant
In the fifth season, Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) leaves the culinary scene behind. His departure leaves The Bear restaurant in limbo and sets up the show’s climax for the final season.
Sydney, Richie, and Sugar Take Charge
Now that Carmy is gone, Sydney, Richie, and Natalie “Sugar” need to step up to the plate and run the restaurant. Financial strain, leadership issues, and increased doubts surrounding the viability of the business are all pressing concerns for the three.
The Michelin Star Dream Continues
There’s one key plot point that hasn’t changed; it’s the search for a Michelin star. The team keeps pressing for the acclaim that has propelled them throughout the season despite their internal troubles and financial challenges.
The Cast Returns for the Finale
Some of the main cast of the first two seasons return to the final season, such as Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Matty Matheson.
Behind a Major Awards Legacy
The Bear has been one of the most award-winning shows on TV since its debut in 2022. The show won a record 11 Emmy Awards for a comedy series in 2024 and also picked up several Golden Globe wins.
Fans Expect an Emotional Ending
A trailer was also posted, indicating that the last season will be more about friendship, resilience, burnout, ambition, and personal growth. Many fans are hoping for an emotional finale as the restaurant’s days seem numbered and relationships are changing.
