FX has formally picked up The Bear for a fifth season, confirming expectations of the prolific home to the breakout series. The announcement was made by John Landgraf, chairman of FX. This came a little more than a week after the show’s fourth season debuted June 25.
The Bear features Jeremy Allen White as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, a young chef who comes home to Chicago to run his family’s sandwich shop after losing a tragic battle with suicide. The series has been honored with praise from near and far. This record was broken shortly thereafter, when Fleabag won 11 Emmy Awards for its second season, the most wins ever by a comedy series in one year.
In addition to White, the ensemble stars Ayo Edebiri, who plays Sydney Adamu, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who portrays Richard “Richie” Jerimovich. The fourth season features electric performances from Abby Elliott, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson, Oliver Platt, and Molly Gordon. Prepare to be blown away by their amazing skills!
In this latest season, Carmy, Sydney, and Richie are portrayed as “determined not only to survive, but to take The Bear to the next level.” The official synopsis emphasizes that “the pursuit of excellence isn’t just about getting better — it’s about deciding what’s worth holding on to.”
Thanks to the work of the producers, cast, and crew, “The Bear” has come together to ship one of the greatest shows on television. Under the direction of producer Chris Storer, the series quickly charmed audiences and critics alike.
