The Bear, FX’s gripping series on Hulu, keeps fans hooked with its raw restaurant chaos, deep characters, and emotional punches. Season 4 landed June 25, 2025, sparking questions about whether Carmy, Sydney, and the crew will return for more. Here’s a rundown of everything known about a potential Season 5.
Is The Bear Season 5 Officially Happening?
As of today, June 26, 2025, FX hasn’t given the green light for The Bear Season 5. They ordered Seasons 3 and 4 together and filmed them back-to-back, but there’s no word yet on another round. Outlets like Deadline and TV Insider say FX is probably waiting to see how Season 4 does—ratings, reviews, the whole deal—before deciding. Back in March 2024, Deadline hinted that Season 5 was being tossed around as an idea, mostly because the cast’s schedules are getting crazier by the minute. X posts from fans are full of hope, with some swearing they’ve heard whispers of a renewal, but nothing’s solid yet. Fingers crossed!
When Could We See The Bear Season 5?
No renewal means no official premiere date, but let’s do some quick math. The Bear loves its June releases—Season 1 in 2022, Season 2 in 2023, Season 3 in 2024, and now Season 4 in 2025. If FX says yes to Season 5, June 2026 feels like a good guess.
Who’s Coming Back for The Bear Season 5?
If we get a Season 5, the gang should be back in the kitchen. Based on Season 4’s cast, here’s who we’d expect:
-
Jeremy Allen White as Carmy, our stressed-out chef chasing greatness.
-
Ayo Edebiri as Sydney, the brains keeping things together.
-
Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie, rocking the front of house.
-
Lionel Boyce as Marcus, whipping up killer pastries.
-
Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina, the kitchen’s heart and soul.
-
Abby Elliott as Sugar, Carmy’s sister holding the family together.
-
Matty Matheson as Neil Fak, bringing the laughs.
