‘The Bear’ returns for its final season—How to watch, schedule, cast

“The Bear” is serving up one last family meal.
After five seasons, Hulu and FX’s acclaimed dramedy is coming to an end. Season 5 of “The Bear” premieres tonight, June 25.
The new season picks up the morning after the Season 4 finale, where Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) announced he would be leaving the restaurant industry entirely and passing ownership of The Bear to Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and Sugar (Abby Elliot).
As a generational storm sweeps through Chicago, the staff prepares for one final service, where they hope to finally earn the Michelin star that had eluded them for so long.
