The Bear has officially been renewed for a fifth season. In a statement Tuesday, FX Chairman John Landgraf confirmed that the Emmy-winning show, which just dropped its fourth season last week, will be returning for another season in 2026. “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,” Landgraf said. “Year-in and year-out, [creator] 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.” The Bear, which stars Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, follows the daily tribulations of a ragtag group of chefs in a struggling restaurant. The series’ fourth season ended on a cliffhanger of a finale that left the future of its characters and its namesake restaurant in question. Since its premiere in 2022, The Bear has won a total of 21 Emmys, including performance recognitions for its lead stars.
