The Bear Season 5 Debuts June 25 with Simultaneous FX and Hulu Release

FX’s drama series *The Bear* returns for its fifth and final season on June 25, launching concurrently on the linear FX cable channel and the Hulu streaming platform. This marks the first time an FX‑branded series will be released day‑and‑date across both distribution methods, a strategy that began in early 2026 with the rollout of other FX titles such as *The Beauty* and *Welcome to Wrexham*. The shift aims to give clear credit for Emmy consideration and simplify viewing for audiences.

Ahead of the premiere, the cast gathered in Los Angeles for a “final family meal” event. Actress Ayo Edebiri attended in a custom Chanel dress featuring a feathered floral back, highlighting the show’s high‑profile promotion alongside its new release model.
