The Bear season 5 is confirmed to go forward, following Carmy Berzatto’s game-changing decision in the season 4 finale. It has been nearly four months since The Bear season 4 arrived, only for the final episode to conclude with the star chef making the call to quit the restaurant, making Sydney, Ritchie, and Natalie in charge.
During a new interview with Vogue, Jeremy Allen White was asked if the next season had started production yet. However, the lead confirmed that “we haven’t shot the next season yet.” He brought the season 4 production and the unique setup they went with, saying, “It’s interesting because we shot this last finale back in 2024, but then filmed a lot of earlier Season 4 episodes in 2025, so it’s a weird thing. It feels like a very long time ago.”
Allen stressed how “Carmy shed so much in that finale and came clean in so many ways.” Calling Carmy’s choice as him “trying to do what he thinks is right or best,” the Emmy-winning star added, “but then, working backwards a year later was a strange experience. But I remember that last episode being so fun, because we shot it like a play.”
From a technical standpoint, “there were three cameras and then Ayo [Edebiri], Ebon [Moss-Bachrach], myself, and Abby [Elliott] at the tail end.” According to the Shameless veteran, “it took 36 minutes to perform and we did it like four times.”
The 34-year-old actor also praised The Bear showrunner for the creative direction, stressing, “I’m always so touched by the way [creator] Chris [Storer] writes and develops this story, and I wish I could act with all those guys forever, honestly, if there was a way to figure that out.” FX handed out a renewal on July 1, 2025, only a week after the release of season 4.
It’s currently unknown whether The Bear season 5 will be the final installment of the award-winning series. While no decisions have been made yet on the show’s future, it could be revealed at a later time if the next one will wrap up the drama.
As of right now, The Bear season 5 has no premiere date set.
