A first trailer for The Bear’s final season has arrived, and it sees our flat-broke gang fighting back a flood of biblical proportions in the restaurant as Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) gets ready to depart and find out who he is when he’s not cooking. If a flooded eatery isn’t enough to handle, Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt) announces he’s planning to sell the restaurant.
FX also released this official logline for the season: “With no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm in their way, the new partners must band together with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping they’ll finally earn a Michelin star. Ultimately, they learn that what makes a restaurant ‘perfect’ might not be the food, but the people.”
Additionally, FX has confirmed that season 5 picks up the morning after the season 4 finale, when Sydney, Richie, and Sugar first learned that Carmy had quit the industry and left the restaurant to them, raising questions about the timeline of the final scene in The Bear’s one-off special, Gary, which was released back in May.
Gary initially went back in time and documented a road trip that Mikey (Jon Bernthal) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) took just before Mikey ended his life. During their time together, Mikey had a breakdown while hanging out with Richie and told him he was going to be a terrible father just as his daughter was about to be born. The pair weren’t on speaking terms by the end of the trip, but the special ended with a flash-forward cliffhanger set in the present, in which Richie was shockingly T-boned by a vehicle at an intersection.
