The Bear concludes with final season on Disney+ and Hulu

FX’s award‑winning series *The Bear* wrapped its story with a fifth and final season released in full on Disney+ (and Hulu in the United States) on 26 June 2026. The eight‑episode arc follows a single, rain‑soaked day at the Chicago restaurant as staff confront a looming investor pull‑out, severe weather damage, dwindling supplies and the pressure of a possible Michelin‑star inspection. Chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto decides to leave the kitchen, handing leadership to Sydney, Richie and Sugar. Despite the crises the team pulls off a successful service and learns that a Michelin inspector had already visited months earlier, granting the restaurant two stars. The season also includes a tribute to late guest star Rob Reiner, and marks the series’ end after a run that earned 21 Emmy Awards and a 97 % Rotten Tomatoes score for its finale. Creator Christopher Storer confirmed there are no plans for a sixth season, though the story leaves room for potential spin‑offs or specials.
