The Bear Season 5 Earns 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

Hulu has broadened its slate across drama and comedy in recent years, and The Bear has emerged as one of the streamer’s standout offerings. The Chicago-set dramedy, which began in 2022, follows the highs and lows of running a restaurant and quickly became a critical favorite.

The series received rave reviews across its first four seasons and won 21 Primetime Emmy Awards. Season 5, confirmed as the show’s final season after a 2025 renewal and filmed for release this year, has earned a 100% Tomatometer rating on Rotten Tomatoes — the program’s second perfect season after Season 1.

No season has scored lower than 84% (Season 4); Season 2 earned 99% and Season 3 89%.
