The Bear’s fifth and final season is set to premiere June 25 on Hulu, with all eight episodes available to stream at once. The Emmy-winning culinary dramedy will end after the upcoming season, bringing the kitchen chaos to a close following four acclaimed seasons.
All eight episodes will drop simultaneously at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on June 25, maintaining the binge-release format the show has used throughout its run. The final season will also air on FX’s cable channel, with the first two episodes airing that day and subsequent episodes rolling out weekly.
The announcement came in early May 2026, alongside a surprise flashback episode titled “Gary” that premiered on Hulu and Disney+. The Bear has earned multiple Emmy nominations and critical acclaim for its portrayal of a fine-dining restaurant’s reopening after a fire, following chef Carmy Berzatto’s return to his family’s struggling establishment.
