The Bear Season Five Given the Green Light
Following the debut of season four of The Bear, which is off to a white-hot start with viewers, FX has picked up season five of the acclaimed Emmy Award-winning comedy, it was announced today by John Landgraf, Chairman of FX.
All seasons, including the newly released season four, are available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ with a bundle subscription domestically and Disney+ internationally.
“The Bear continues to be a fan favorite worldwide and their response to this season – as seen through incredibly high viewership – has been as spectacular as any of its previous seasons,” said Landgraf.
“Year-in and year-out, Chris Storer, the producers, cast and crew make The Bear one of the best shows on television, and we are excited that they will continue to tell this magnificent story.”
In the fourth season, Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri, Prodigies) and Richard “Richie” Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach, The Fantastic Four: First Steps) are pushing forward, determined not only to survive, but also to take The Bear to the next level.
With new challenges around every corner, the team must adapt, adjust, and overcome. The pursuit of excellence isn’t just about getting better – it’s about deciding what’s worth holding on to.
The series also stars Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, and Matty Matheson, with Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon appearing in recurring roles.
