LOS ANGELES, June 25 (UPI) -- The Bear, returning Thursday on Hulu and FX at 9 p.m. EDT, concludes the restaurant drama with signature intensity. However, the journey through five seasons has led to rewarding maturity amongst its ensemble of characters.
The eight episodes, seven of which were provided in advance, all take place on one day from morning to dinner service. Though not as strict about real-time as 24 or The Pitt, it gives the season a compression that works effectively as a microcosm of every day.
There is a bit more of a ticking clock for The Bear, though. The restaurant has not become profitable yet and Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) revealed his plans to quit in Season 4.
So closing for the day is not an option, and it's a day of problem solving. Even if they pull it off, tomorrow is not necessarily guaranteed, though they'd have a lot of happy customers telling the story of The Bear.
