Following comments from star Jamie Lee Curtis that the show is set to end after season 5, The Bear has a surprise-dropped a special episode starring and co-written by Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Per Variety, the episode, titled 'Gary,' follows Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Mikey (Jon Bernthal) in a flashback that sees them taking a work trip to Gary, Indiana. The episode focuses on “the two friends’ complicated relationship, uncovering new layers of Mikey’s mental state while offering crucial insight into the man Richie is when audiences first meet him in Season 1, adding emotional context that reframes their story from the very beginning."

It's The Bear, and it's a Mikey flashback, so you already know you're probably going to cry. Series creator Christopher Storer directs from Bernthal and Moss-Bachrach's screenplay. Curiously, though, the episode is listed as its own title rather than under The Bear category on Hulu and Disney Plus.

  • Jack Quaid as Hughie in The Boys season 5 Jack Quaid says The Boys season 5 isn't going to be a "fairytale ending in any regard"

The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning show (which I still don't think should be in the comedy category, but whatever) is set to end after five seasons, with Curtis saying in a recent interview that "everybody's confirmed the show is ending." Then again, Ted Lasso filmed a series finale and everything and still came back for a fifth season... so anything's possible.

Gary is streaming now on Hulu and Disney Plus. The Bear season 5 does not yet have a release date, but is expected to premiere this summer. For more, see our picks of the best shows on Disney Plus, and keep up with upcoming TV shows heading your way.
