THE BEAR season 5 clip: 'Who Owns The Bear?'

FX released a new “Who Owns The Bear?” clip this week as “The Bear” moves through its fifth and final season on Hulu. BroadwayWorld, which posted the clip on July 8, said the scene centers on a dispute over who actually owns the restaurant. (broadwayworld.com) FX and Hulu describe season five as the show’s final run, with the story picking up after Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto leaves the food industry and the remaining partners try to keep the restaurant going. (hulu.com) Hulu says season five premiered on June 25, 2026, with all eight episodes made available to stream at once. (fxnow.fxnetworks.com) FX’s episode listings also show the season continuing to air weekly on linear television, with episode four dated July 9 and the finale dated August 6. ### What is in the “Who Owns The Bear?” clip? BroadwayWorld said the clip shows characters arguing over who truly owns the restaurant, putting the question of control at the center of the scene. That fits the official season synopsis from FX, which says Sydney Adamu, Richie Jerimovich and Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto discover that Carmy has quit and are left to run the restaurant with little money and the threat of a sale hanging over them. (broadwayworld.com) FX’s official show page says the team faces “one final service” in the fifth and final season. The network’s longer synopsis says the new partners are trying to hold the restaurant together while pursuing a Michelin star. (hulu.com) ### Why does ownership matter in season five? FX says the season begins “the morning after” Sydney, Richie and Sugar learn that Carmy has stepped away, leaving the restaurant to them. The same synopsis says the business is under financial pressure and facing the possibility of a sale, which gives the ownership dispute in the clip a direct connection to the season’s plot. (broadwayworld.com) The official cast listing keeps the core group intact. Jeremy Allen White returns as Carmy, with Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Abby Elliott in the central partnership story, according to FX and Hulu materials.

FX’s show page and Disney’s streaming guide use the same description, calling it the “fifth and final season.” FX’s episode schedule lists eight installments: “Soda,” “Lamb,” “Mint,” “Ribs,” “Raspberries,” “Focaccia,” “Caramel” and “The Original Beef of Chicagoland.” The finale is scheduled for August 6 on FX, while all episodes are already streaming on Hulu.

Aftermath published a review on July 8 under the headline “Goodbye, The Bear, I Thought You Were A Good Television Show.” The review said the series “was a show that wasn't as good as it thought it was,” while still arguing it remained better than many critics gave it credit for. (hulu.com) The Australian Financial Review also included “The Bear” season five in a roundup of four shows to stream this week, according to the briefing material provided for this story. That left the week’s coverage split between FX’s promotional push around the final season and reviews weighing whether the series had held its form into its last run. (fxnow.fxnetworks.com) ### Where does the season go from here? FX’s schedule shows episode five, “Raspberries,” airing on July 16, followed by “Focaccia” on July 23, “Caramel” on July 30 and “The Original Beef of Chicagoland” on August 6.
