The streaming giant launched the fourth series of the show last month but little had been said on the fate of the show until now – causing fans to panic.
Show bosses have now revealed that the programme – starring Jeremy Allen White – is very much making a comeback for a fifth incarnation.
The show streams on Disney+ internationally and is broadcast via FX in the US.
Lead star Jeremy picked up a Golden Globe for his role in the show in 2023.
Confirming their plans for the show, John Landgraf, the Chairman of FX, said: “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.
“We are excited that they will continue to tell this magnificent story.”
The show sees fine dining chef Carmy return home to Chicago to help run his family’s sandwich shop.
Played by Jeremy, the chef has to fight to transform the show and ensure its survival.
Previously declaring their excitement for the show, one fan said: “Yessss! Too good not to be renewed.”
A second added: “I cannot wait honestly!!”
While third penned: “I need 20 seasons of this.”
A synopsis for the latest series read: “It’s a losing battle every single day in the restaurant business. Carmy pushes himself harder than ever, and demands excellence from his crew, who do their best to match his intensity.
“Their quest for culinary excellence will propel the crew to new levels and stress the bonds that hold the restaurant together.
“As the team grows in size, each member will strive to reach a greater level of service within their role. In the restaurant industry, you’re never on solid ground, and with that ever-changing landscape comes new challenges and opportunities.”
