FX’s “The Bear” Renewed for Season Five

Following the debut of The Bear‘s fourth season, which is off to a white-hot start with viewers, FX has picked up the fifth season of the acclaimed Emmy®-Award winning comedy, it was announced today by John Landgraf, Chairman, 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 latest season, the series’ fourth, Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri), and Richard “Richie” Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are pushing forward, determined not only to survive, but also to take The Bear to the next level.
