The final season of FX’s ‘The Bear’ premieres on June 25

Our time in the kitchen is almost up. FX’s The Bear is coming to a close this summer with the premiere of season 5. It’ll be the final season, meaning Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) will have to deal with his demons one way or another—and his crew will have to deal with the fallout.

Since its debut in 2022, the show has won 21 Primetime Emmy Awards (including Outstanding Comedy Series) and five Golden Globe Awards (Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy). The wins have been controversial since the show qualifies for the comedy awards but happens to be a pretty serious series as it deals with suicide, alcoholism, family trauma and major workplace dysfunction. But its comedic situations, quippy banter and timing is what keeps it there. Who can forget the kid’s birthday party episode, when Carmy and Richie fought with a blown-up hot dog between them?

So before we mourn the loss of more seasons, let’s rejoice for the upcoming one by sharing what we know about it, from how and when to stream it and what to expect.

When does the fifth season of The Bear premiere?

June 25 and 9pm EST / 6pm PST.

What will happen in season 5?

According to Netflix, the final season picks up the morning after Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie and Natalie “Sugar” (Abby Elliott) discover that Carmy has quit the food industry, leaving the restaurant to them. 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.
