The fifth and final season of the acclaimed comedy-drama will debut in the UK on Friday June 26, streaming exclusively on Disney+ at launch. All eight episodes will be available to stream at debut, meaning fans won\u2019t have to wait for week-to-week viewing to see the show\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n

The fifth season will pick up the morning after Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Natalie \u2018Sugar\u2019 Berzatto (Abby Elliott) discover that Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has quit the food industry, leaving the future of the restaurant in their hands.<\/p>\n

Per Radio Times<\/a>, an official synopsis teases that they will reckon with \u201cno money, the threat of a sale, and a torrential storm\u201d as they band together with the rest of the team to pull off one final service and aim at getting a coveted Michelin star.<\/p>\n

The series also stars Matty Matheson, Lionel Boyce, Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas, with Ricky Staffieri, Oliver Platt, Will Poulter, and Jamie Lee Curtis appearing in recurring roles.<\/p>\n

When we spoke to Boyce<\/a>, who plays pastry chef Marcus in the show, he said his involvement in the show served as a lesson for trusting his own ability. \u201cAs the seasons go on, [show creator Christopher Storer] will ask me to do more, and things that I might be hesitant to do,\u201d he said back in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show started with a huge loss and in season three it\u2019s Marcus\u2019 turn to experience that,\u201d Boyce said of season two episode Honeydew, which focused entirely on him. \u201cI think Marcus is a little more resilient. He\u2019s always been the level-headed one. He processes things differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Confirmation of the final season\u2019s premiere date follows the series surprise dropping a new prequel episode earlier this week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Titled \u2018Gary\u2019, it stars show regulars Jon Bernthal (Mikey) and Moss-Bachrach\u2019s Richie, and follows them on a work trip that took place before Mikey\u2019s death, which sets up the events of the first season of the show.<\/p>\n

The Bear\u2019s fourth season was released last year, with\u00a0NME\u2019s\u00a0four star review<\/a>\u00a0concluding: \u201cLike Carmy himself,\u00a0The Bear\u2019s\u00a0fourth season returns bruised but improved. It may not be a return to its early greatness but this batch of slick, heartfelt episodes proves the show is still capable of delivering some delicious drama.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, back in March,\u00a0it was confirmed that the fifth season of\u00a0The Bear\u00a0will be the last<\/a>, following star Jamie Lee Curtis hinting at the show\u2019s conclusion in a post on Instagram.<\/p>\n
