Fans have been wondering whether the Emmy-winning series The Bear will officially conclude its run in the upcoming fifth season.
The hit FX/Hulu series has become one of the biggest TV hits in the last few years. Aside from critics and audiences praising it, it has also received a lot of accolades, including an Emmy win for Outstanding Comedy Series for its first season. However, the latter seasons have also been divisive, and there are now questions about whether it is the end of the run for them.
Is The Bear Ending with Season 5?
Reports confirmed that the upcoming fifth season of The Bear will also be its last, officially concluding its run when it premieres later this year.
There have been rumors for a while that the hit series might be ending in the upcoming fifth season, after recurring guest star Jamie Lee Curtis hinted in a February 17 Instagram post that she "finished" working on the show "strong."
"FINISHED STRONG! Surrounded by an extraordinary crew and group of writers and producers and scene partners on the show that Chris Storer created, completing the story of this extraordinary family that we have all fallen in love with. Got to finish it out with my baby Berzatto bear," she wrote.
Earlier this week, Curtis reiterated in an interview with Entertainment Tonight that the series is indeed going to conclude. "It is the end of the show," she said of the final season.
The decision to end the series in the upcoming season may not come as a surprise, since the fourth season notably ended with Carmy deciding that he is leaving the restaurant and the culinary industry.
Showrunner Christopher Storer has also teased in the past that he had a four-season plan idea for the series, but he extended it with one more season to wrap up the storyline.
What to Expect in The Bear Season 5
So far, the plot details regarding the fifth season of The Bear are still under wraps, but production started earlier this year.
To recap, during the fourth season, Carmy, Sydney, and Richie were 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.
So far, no release date has been set for the upcoming final season. Usually, the new season airs during June with a binge-release.
For now, stay tuned for news and updates regarding the final season of the series in the coming months.
