The Bear season 5: the FX series will return to Disney+ in 2026

The Bear series, created by Christopher Storer and produced by FX Productions, will indeed have a fifth season scheduled for 2026. Already available for streaming on Disney+ in France, this comedy-drama follows the evolution of Carmy, Sydney and Richie in their quest for culinary perfection. Winner of numerous awards, including 11 Emmy Awards for its second season, the series continues to appeal to a broad international audience. This renewal announcement comes shortly after the full release of season 4, which has been airing since June 26, 2025.

A series that became a phenomenon

Since its launch, The Bear has established itself as a must-see series, both with audiences and critics. Starring Jeremy Allen White as Carmy, the series has received numerous awards, including Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG and Critics Choice awards. Previous seasons have blended the pressure of kitchen duty, internal conflicts and the quest for personal redemption, in a format that is both edgy and intimate.

A long-awaited return for Carmy, Sydney and Richie

In season 4, the trio of Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney(Ayo Edebiri) and Richie(Ebon Moss-Bachrach) attempt to take their restaurant to an ever higher level of excellence. The fifth season should continue this dynamic, focusing on personal choices, professional tensions and new stages in The Bear 's development as a fine dining establishment. The regular cast also includes Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson, Oliver Platt and Molly Gordon.

Stable, ambitious production

Created by Christopher Storer, who is also showrunner and executive producer, The Bear boasts a strong team: Joanna Calo, Josh Senior, Hiro Murai, Rene Gube and Tyson Bidner produce alongside Matty Matheson. Courtney Storer, the series' head chef, remains involved as executive producer. FX Productions continues to finance the project, which is broadcast in France by Disney+.
