Well, The Bear isn’t closing its doors for good just yet. While it looked as if season four of Christopher Storer’s acclaimed FX series would be the last, Chairman John Landgraf has revealed (via Deadline) that a fifth season is in the works.
Landgraf issued a statement praising The Bear and recognizing the popularity it has maintained…
“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. 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.”
The Bear has been the launching pad for a few red-hot movie careers, including star Jeremy Allen White (who has Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere coming up), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (plays Thing in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps), and Ayo Edibiri (Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt is next for her). They could have easily decided to move on but it shows they still have a lot of loyalty to the show and to one another.
