A logline for the next and last season of “The Bear” as provided by FX:
The fifth and final season of FX’s “The Bear” picks up the morning after Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Natalie “Sugar” (Abby Elliott) discover that Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) has quit the food industry, leaving the restaurant to them. With no money, the threat of a sale, and a torrential storm in their way, the new partners must band together with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping they’ll finally earn a Michelin star. Ultimately, they learn that what makes a restaurant “perfect” might not be the food, but the people.
Alongside the aforementioned returning casting members, the lineup will include Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson, Ricky Staffieri, Oliver Platt, Will Poulter, and Jamie Lee Curtis in recurring roles.
If you weren’t aware, “The Bear” was created by Christopher Storer, who serves as executive producer alongside Josh Senior, Cooper Wehde, Tyson Bidner, Matheson, Hiro Murai, and Rene Gube. Courtney Storer also serves as a culinary producer on the Emmy-winning show.
With the end of the show, we’re currently not expecting anything else to expand or spin off from the universe of “The Bear.” However, something like “Gary” could lead to other specials or one-offs exploring the characters’ journey or their past.
Given the June 25 debut date, a teaser trailer for Season 5 is likely just around the corner.
