On which original network did The Bear's final season premiere?

The Bear’s final season premiered on FX on Hulu. All eight episodes arrived on June 25, 2026, under the FX on Hulu banner, continuing the show’s established release identity.

The series began in 2022 as an FX production released through Hulu, a model that helped FX reach streaming audiences without abandoning its network brand. Season 5 was also broadcast on the linear FX channel, but the season’s listed original network remained FX on Hulu.

The final season follows the staff after Carmy steps away from the food industry, leaving Sydney, Richie and Natalie to keep the restaurant alive. Much of the story unfolds over a single day as the team faces financial pressure, a storm, flooding and the challenge of delivering one last major service.

A common mix-up is answering “Hulu” alone. Hulu was the principal streaming destination, while FX was the producing and broadcasting network; “FX on Hulu” is the canonical label used for the show’s original network listing.
