Chefs, foodies and fans of men in white T-shirts will find something to love in the smash hit series The Bear on Hulu, which has taken over the streaming service since it first premiered in June 2022.

All eight episodes of the fifth and final season are available to stream online starting on Thursday (June 25), in addition to seasons one, two, three and four. The previous season left off with Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) trapped in anxiety with his newly-restored restaurant. While Carmy has a meltdown due to his fear of failure, the team gets it together to steer things back on course.

Now, season five focuses on the repercussions of Carmy’s outburst as he continues to push himself and those around him to an almost unattainable perfection while trying to keep his new establishment afloat.
