The Bear star Jeremy Allen White drops a huge filming update for Season 5

The Bear Season 4 concluded with an impressive viewership, which led to the show's renewal, and now fans are curious to get updates on Season 5. FX confirmed in July 2025 that Jeremy Allen White and the other key cast members will return to the screens for the next chapter in Carmy's life.

It's going to be interesting as Season 4 ended with a big twist. Carmy made up his mind to leave behind the restaurant and even the culinary world for good. If he really steps out of what he has been doing his entire life, where will Carmy go?

This is exactly what Season 5 will reveal. Interestingly, Jeremy Allen White recently gave an update on the filming of the next chapter. When asked when they'll start shooting The Bear Season 5, the actor told Variety:

"Jan. 5 or something like that. Very soon."

This is a notable update from the main cast member as fans can finally start speculating how the events will unfold in Season 5.

Jeremy Allen White reveals when The Bear Season 5 shooting begins

Right when FX announced that fans are getting The Bear Season 5, many wondered when filming would start and by what time they could expect the fifth chapter to finally hit our screens.

And if you've been thinking the same, make sure to know that Season 5 filming will begin in January 2026, most likely on January 5. So if the productions start early next year, Season 5 might arrive in late 2026 or early 2027.

As for the cast, the main characters are expected to return, including Jeremy Allen White as Carmy, Ayo Edebiri as Sydney, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richie, Abby Elliott as Natalie, Lionel Boyce as Marcus, Liza Colón-Zayas as Tina, and more.

The actors’ rising fame: White joining Star Wars, Moss-Bachrach entering Marvel, and Edebiri taking on a growing list of projects makes scheduling tight. But FX still expects the usual release rhythm.

What could be the story in The Bear Season 5?

The Bear Season 5 is expected to focus on Carmy's journey, filled with uncertainty, new challenges in his life. Now that he's willing to step away from the heart of the restaurant world, Season 5 may explore what happens when a place built on his brilliance has to stand on its own.

So, instead of highlighting Cramy's obsession with perfection, the next chapter might take a closer look at Sydney, Richie, and Sugar as they try to keep the restaurant working smoothly. Sydney has already shown her skills and leadership, and if she takes on the lead in Season 5, fans can actually watch how she differs from Carmy in managing the business.

Season 5 can begin with featuring Carmy's final days at the restaurant, with Sydney and Natalie stepping in to take more responsibilities. FX Chairman John Landgraf also praised the show’s creators and cast, saying:

"The Bear continues to be a fan favorite worldwide, and their response to this season — as seen through incredibly high viewership — has been as spectacular as any of its previous seasons."

He continued:

"Year in and year out, Chris Storer, the producers, cast and crew make The Bear one of the best shows on television, and we are excited that they will continue to tell this magnificent story."
