Final Season Confirmed: All Episodes Available from June 25

The fifth and final season of The Bear, the Emmy Award-winning FX series, will debut Thursday, June 25 at 9:00 PM ET on FX and Hulu, with distribution on Disney+.

The final season picks up the morning after Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie and Natalie "Sugar" (Abby Elliott) discover that Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has quit the restaurant industry, leaving the restaurant in their hands. With no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm bearing down on them, the new partners must join forces with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping to finally earn a Michelin star.

The half-hour series also stars Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas and Matty Matheson, with Ricky Staffieri, Oliver Platt, Will Poulter and Jamie Lee Curtis in recurring roles.

The Cast of The Bear: The Actors' Recent Projects

Jeremy Allen White, after winning two Emmys for his role in The Bear, played Bruce Springsteen in the biographical movie Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere from 20th Century, which chronicled the making of the album Nebraska and debuted in theaters on October 24, 2025. The actor was also involved in the sequel to The Social Network written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, though the project is still in development. White will also make his entrance into the Star Wars universe with The Mandalorian and Grogu, scheduled for 2026.

Ayo Edebiri, Emmy winner for best supporting actress in 2023 for The Bear, recently starred in After the Hunt by Luca Guadagnino, a thriller set on a college campus with Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Chloë Sevigny, presented out of competition at the Venice Film Festival 2025 and distributed on Amazon Prime Video. The actress also voiced a character in Inside Out 2 and shot Clarissa, a modern reimagining of Virginia Woolf's novel Mrs Dalloway set in Lagos, Nigeria, presented at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. Among her recent projects are also Opus with John Malkovich and Ella McCay with Emma Mackey, both from 2025.

The final season of The Bear thus prepares to close a chapter of contemporary seriality that has managed to transform cooking into a metaphor for existence, the search for perfection into a human journey, and food into the language of emotions.
