The acclaimed series The Bear, starring Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss‑Bachrach, has been officially renewed for a fifth season, set to premiere in 2026, according to FX and media outlets such as Cinemanía and EFE. The announcement comes just days after the premiere of Season 4 on June 25 (June 26 in Spain via Disney+), which consisted of 10 intense episodes and ended on a revealing cliffhanger.
The series has maintained a yearly renewal rhythm, with seasons consistently premiering between June and July since its debut in 2022. The news was welcomed by FX president John Landgraf, who praised the success of Season 4 and the continued dedication of the creative team led by Christopher Storer, along with the enthusiastic reception from both audiences and critics.
Will the fifth season be the last?
So far, there’s no indication that this will be the case. The renewal announcement made no mention of a definitive ending. While some cast members have hinted that the conclusion may be near, the final decision lies primarily with Chris Storer. Both FX and Disney+ have expressed full confidence in continuing if the story justifies it.
Season 4 ended with a dramatic twist: Carmy, the chef played by Jeremy Allen White, decides to step away from the kitchen once the restaurant reaches stability or earns a Michelin star. This conclusion raises several questions: Will Carmy remain in the background, offering support from afar? Or will he take a central role in the restaurant’s next chapter?
FX has confirmed that, despite the busy schedules of White, Edebiri, and Moss‑Bachrach, all will return as main cast members, and it’s highly likely that production will begin in early 2026 to meet the usual summer release window. In the meantime, Season 4 is now fully available on Hulu (U.S.) and Disney+ (Spain).
With 21 Emmy Awards, five Golden Globes, and overwhelming audience support, The Bear has established itself as one of the most outstanding and compelling shows in contemporary television. The confirmation of a new season ensures viewers will once again dive into the chaotic kitchen of Chicago, where personal dilemmas and the pursuit of excellence continue to drive the story forward.
